Abstract
An understanding of states and their institutional foundations is vital to the appreciation of the sources and causes of intrastate conflicts. This chapter addresses the political economy of intrastate conflicts in developing countries since the 1960s. The core thread that permeates these theories is the persistence of socioeconomic inequities, weak governance structures, and the availability of opportunities for groups to contest and mobilize their grievances. Multilateral approaches and initiatives remain critical in tackling new intrastate fissures and regionalized conflicts.
