Mozambique and Angola are comparable cases, so they are best-fit cases for this method. The research proposes external state intervention, state capacity, weapons industry, UN Trust Fund, and type of natural resources as tentative independent variables. This research explores causality between each independent variable and dependent variable by process tracing on qualitative scales and employs a combination of area studies and statistical analysis to reinforce each tentative independent variable. The historical discourse also covers the internal validity problem of small-N studies by process tracing. This research concludes that UN Trust Fund and type of natural resources are both genuine variables to determine 10 years of civil war duration gap between the two states. The results of the analysis are applicable to Mozambique and Angola from 1975 to 2002 and show limited generalization.}, pages = {1--18}, title = {Causes of Civil War Duration : Mozambique and Angola by the Method of Difference}, volume = {48}, year = {2018} }
