Through five independent but related articles, this thesis explores how local factors such as physical and socio-cultural inaccessibility, local poverty and the quality of local institutions affect the sub-national risk of conflict. It also examines whether recurring conflicts have different severity levels than initial conflicts and how the outcome of the initial conflict affects the severity of the subsequent conflict.
