      abstract = {Eva Bernauer predicts civil conflicts based upon the  political exclusion of identity groups and their  transnational links to external governments. The innovation  lies in a simultaneous consideration of three identities -  ethnicity, religion, and class-based ideology - thus  extending previous studies with merely an ethnic focus.  Most importantly, such a perspective implies a shift  towards a society's unique three-dimensional identity  setup, upon which the excluded population and their  transnational links can be determined. The author presents  original data on the three-dimensional identity setup for  57 countries and introduces a formal model where rebel  leaders strategically use identities to garner the support  of the population. Key quantities of interest, such as the  largest excluded subgroup or the number of identity links  to external governments, are tested in several quantitative  analyses as predictors for the onset of civil conflicts.  The author shows that there is an added value of extending  the mere ethnic perspective to also encompass religion and  class-based ideology.
