What’s in a name? Militias and the need for further systematic research

Abstract

Establishing a collective understanding of an essentially contested concept can be extremely challenging. Researchers talk past one another and can give contradictory advice to policy makers. This has been the case for militias. In this article, I provide a clear definition of a militia and highlight the need for such a definition with a review of journal articles contained within Web of Science. I lay out the implications of an ambiguous conception of militia with a replication of a recent research piece. And I argue that the generation of a full typology of militias is now of the utmost importance for future work on these groups.
