Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The paper maps the trajectory of the proposition according to which agrarian inequality is somehow associated with the onset and persistence of civil wars. This proposition was dominant in many disciplines in the 1960s and 1970s but was radically challenged by economic/individualistic interpretations of war, which forced it out from the research agenda. However, it has made a strong comeback, allowing many classical themes to be reconsidered. But the present way of linking agrarian inequality to civil war involves new themes and a more complex political economy of violent conflict, as well as different understandings of the relevant inequalities and of the role of institutions, actors, and space. This, in turn, poses complex research questions and methodological challenges.
