Many people generously offered feedback at various stages of this project, and I’m grateful for their time, comments, and support.

[Mehmet Erdem Arslan @m_erdemarslan]

The results show that an increase in the state’s share of telecommunication companies is associated with a longer mobilization duration for armed groups.

Focusing on Afghanistan, it explores how advances in mobile communication technologies influence conflict dynamics and offers a fresh perspective on the role of ICTs in contemporary warfare.

[Mehmet Erdem Arslan @m_erdemarslan]

Pleased to finally see my very first solo article published in the @JPR_journal. Contributing to the recent literature on ICTs and conflict, I take a look on the other side of this relationship and ask why rebel groups target ICT infrastructure.

@sxmedet Thank you!

[Journal of Peace Research @JPR_journal]

Why do rebel groups target information and communication technology infrastructure? @m_erdemarslan unpacks this puzzle by developing a theory according to which targeting is based on a cost-benefit analysis.
