RT Article T1 Uncultured: civil war and cultural policy JF Civil wars VO 20 IS 1 SP 45 OP 65 A1 Kirschner, Shanna 1979- LA English PB Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group YR 2018 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1576099695 AB How does cultural policy affect violence? While cultural discrimination is frequently cited as a potential grievance motivating political violence, the relationship remains under-theorised and largely untested. I weave theoretical literatures with interviews and secondary sources on the experience of Kurds in Turkey to understand the socio-economic and psychological pathways through which cultural policies impact intrastate conflict. I then analyse cross-national data on political violence, demonstrating that cultural grievances increase support for violence, raise the chance and severity of conflict and prolong violent conflicts. In short, policy matters: cultural restrictions exacerbate violence through multiple pathways.
