abstract="Quantitative research on the &quot;durability&quot; of peace following civil wars typically captures the breakdown or survival of &quot;peace&quot; in a binary manner, equating it with the presence or absence of civil war recurrence. In the datasets that underpin such studies, years that do not experience full-scale civil war are implicitly coded as &quot;peaceful.&quot; Yet, post-civil war environments may remain free from war recurrence, while nevertheless experiencing endemic violent crime, state repression, low-intensity political violence, and systematic violence against marginalized groups, all of which are incongruent with the concept of peace. Approaches to assessing post-civil war outcomes which focus exclusively on civil war recurrence risk overestimating the &quot;durability&quot; of peace, implicitly designating as &quot;peaceful&quot; a range of environments which may be anything but. In this article, we discuss the heterogeneity of violent post-civil war outcomes and develop a typology of &quot;varieties of post-civil war violence.&quot; Our typology contributes to the study of post-civil war peace durability, by serving as the basis for an alternative, categorical conceptualization of &quot;peace years&quot; in conflict datasets.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
