Oliver's current research for his doctoral thesis focuses on identifying and explaining which types of violence are associated with different strategies of terrorism. Using Kydd and Walter's five strategies of terrorism (spoiling, outbidding, provocation, intimidation, attrition) as a basis for the understanding of terrorist strategy, Oliver's work seeks to identify what the types of violence associated with each of these strategies are and why terrorist groups would decide to employ these patterns of violence.
