  "abstract": "How does the presence of multiple combatants affect rebel groups’ ideological positioning? Although violent forms of inter-group conflict have been widely studied in\nthe civil war literature, rebel groups’ strategic use of ideology has so far received scarce scholarly attention. We argue that the pressure of competition forces rebel groups\nto differentiate themselves ideologically from their rivals to maximize their chances of survival and success. Rebel groups strive to set themselves apart by offering unique ideological products to their supporters and recruits. Thus, we contend that rebel groups are more likely to modify their ideologies and demands from the government in the face\nof competition from rival groups. We test this theory using novel data collected from rebel group manifestos and public statements. Our findings suggest that groups are\nmore likely to shift their ideology and modify their demands from the government as the number of rival groups increases.",
