Draw a contrast between what types of targets are attacked by insurgents in civil wars and in ...

Ans. to #1

Civil wars are likelier in poor countries with weak states and rough terrain. The
absence of state authority gives insurgents opportunities to hide, build up their
organizations, and win support. In a sense, civil wars are more likely against soft
targetsweak and vulnerable states. However, the conditions that create
opportunities for civil war are unlikely to give insurgents reason to use suicide terrorism.
Instead, insurgents tend to employ suicide terrorism only against hard targets
wealthier, stronger states with accessible terrain. The reason is straightforward: other
military tactics have proven ineffective. Suicide terrorism is a weapon of last resort,
used when other opportunities do not exist.

Wars are fought for a mixture of motivations, some good and some bad. Most wars combine elements of both. We cannot discount the possibility that individual psychology and emotions influence why some people fight. Some people volunteer to participate in civil war for selfless motives, expecting little in return except the opportunity to participate in an effort to change their society. Some people volunteer simply because they feel that they need to or even must participate, even at great risk to themselves and even without the expectation of clear future benefits. Without joining up, such people feel they would not be true to themselves and their beliefs. Factors such ascultural grievances, ideology, or other interestsmay influence individual psychology.

Revolutions are a subtype of civil war in which the winning side not only takes
control of the state but implements radical change, such as bringing previously excluded
groups of people into power, redistributing economic wealth, and creating new political
institutions. Revolutions are so rare because insurgents do not always win, and because
many insurgent leaders are warlords or military leaders more interested in power and
its trappings than in carefully cultivating popular support.

Geography can be an important source of state weakness contributing to civil war. In some countries, nature creates opportunities for rebels to mobilize and sustain conflict. Specifically, civil war is much more likely in countries with (1) rough terrainmountains or dense forests, and (2) highly dispersed populations. Rough terrain and a dispersed population tend to weaken states' capacity to control their borders, provide public order, prevent smuggling, and deliver services to citizens. These factors give insurgents a military advantage over the state's security forces, as they will have lots of opportunities to hide and to obtain supplies and support far from the central government's military bases.
