Description
Rebel Rulers: Insurgent Governance and Civilian Life during War explores how rebel groups establish sophisticated systems of governance in territories they control. Through extensive fieldwork, Zachariah Cherian Mampilly examines three insurgent organizations in Sri Lanka, Congo, and Sudan, revealing the pressures that shape their governance systems. These pressures come from local civilians, internal factions, and transnational actors operating in conflict zones. The development of insurgent governments can benefit civilians while enabling rebels to assert control over newly attained territories. Mampilly's comparative analysis sheds light on the complexities of rebel governance, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of these systems. By studying the governance systems of rebel groups, Rebel Rulers provides valuable insights into the dynamics of conflict and the ways in which insurgents interact with local populations.
