Correction Statement

This article has been corrected with minor changes. These changes do not impact the academic content of the article.

Notes

1. This article benefited from the discussion of Lee Ann Fujii’s influence with Laurence Broers at the Mobilizing in Uncertainty Book Launch chaired by Simon Rushton at the University of Sheffield in March 2021 and the panel on ‘Remembering Lee Ann Fujii’ at the Political Violence in Comparative Perspective Workshop organised by Nick Cheesman and Elisabeth Wood at Yale University in November 2022. The writing was funded by the UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship (Grant Title: ‘Understanding Civil War from Pre- to Post-War Stages: A Comparative Approach’; Grant Reference: MR/T040653/1; start date 1 January 2021).

2. In fact, this puzzle – and the argument that I developed – crystallised in conversations with Lee Ann. Being a junior scholar at the time, Lee Ann’s encouragement gave me ‘permission’ to focus on uncertainty in my book.
