How have socpe and form of intervention in intra-state conflicts changed over time?

In my research, I am studying civil conflicts with a particular focus on peace negotiations, conflict interventions and nonviolent action in violent contexts. I mostly conduct quantitative large-N studies using methods such as panel regression, IRT models and survival analysis. In the context of TraCe, I am particularly interested in the internationalization of intra-state conflict as a larger trend in the transformation of political violence. I examine how scope and forms of intervention and external support in intra-state conflicts have changed over time and how this influences the course and outcome of these conflicts.
