The authors theorise that identity cues affect willingness to contribute to shared public goods and that collective climate risks may intensify identity-based divisions. Their mixed-methods approach combines focus group discussions with a public good experiment involving 300+ farmers and herders.

While such promises can help sustain peace, excessive promises may not be credible. To test how far executive constraints should go in post-conflict settings, the article draws on global data from post-conflict regimes between 1975 and 2019 and a case study of the M23 rebels in the DR Congo.

The authors compare private goods for ex-combatants (e.g. training programmes) and public goods (e.g. development plans) using cross-national data on peace agreements (1975–2021). They show that promises of private goods are more effective at preventing conflict recurrence than public good pledges

Moving beyond group-level explanations alone, they construct a new dataset capturing the value of potential target cities and the costs of attacking them for rebel groups worldwide (2000-2020).

Drawing on the concept of coercive engineered migration, which is the deliberate use of cross-border population movements to force concessions, the study argues that environmental disasters can overwhelm state capacity and make such coercion more effective.

The authors argue that when such violence is framed in patriotic symbols and language, it can become less concerning. They test this theory through a survey experiment with 1,574 American adults, offering new insight into how national identity can shape public responses to domestic extremism.
