Insurgencies & Civil War explores internal armed conflicts in which groups challenge existing governments, seek autonomy, or attempt to reshape political structures through sustained resistance. It covers the causes of insurgencies, the dynamics of rebel movements, the roles of state and non-state actors, and the social, economic, and ethnic factors that fuel prolonged internal warfare. This subtopic also examines strategies such as guerrilla tactics, counterinsurgency efforts, territorial control, and the humanitarian consequences that emerge when conflict unfolds within national borders.

It’s a space for users to analyze historical and contemporary civil wars, compare patterns across regions, and discuss how internal conflicts evolve over time. Participants can explore case studies, examine peace negotiations, and consider the conditions that make insurgencies persist or resolve. Whether focusing on long-standing struggles or newly emerging movements, this subtopic helps users understand the complexity of conflicts that arise from within.
