In this book, Downes asks why states engage in civilian victimization -- military strategies that target an enemy's civilian population in wartime. He argues that such strategies are employed in two circumstances: to coerce an adversary to give up when leaders become desperate to win or to reduce their military casualties in costly wars of attrition, and to eliminate actual or potential resistance by the population in wars to conquer and annex an enemy's territory. http://www.duke.edu/~downes/publications.htm
Congratulations Alex!

Claire Lauterbach, a Junior Political Science Major with an IR concentration, had a paper accepted for publication in International Studies Perspectives. The paper, entitled "The Costs of Cooperation: Civilian Casualty Counts in Iraq," was originally written when Claire was a Sophomore in Professor Tim Buthe's course on Non-State Actors in World Politics (PS 158/PPS 181). Good work Claire and thanks to Professor Buthe for his fine mentorship!
