2 Although probably common among similar studies, the operationalization of these concepts appears rather crude. For example, successful ‘violence abatement’ refers to the reduction in the number of civil casualties, and ‘conflict settlement’ is considered successful as soon as a peace agreement has been signed, regardless if it is subsequently observed or not.
