In conflicts large and small, however, insurgents frequently take and hold territory, establishing sophisticated systems of governance that deliver extensive public services to civilians under their control. From police and courts, schools, hospitals, and taxation systems to more symbolic expressions such as official flags and anthems, some rebels are able to appropriate functions of the modern state, often to great effect in generating civilian compliance. Other insurgent organizations struggle to provide even the most basic services and suffer from the local unrest and international condemnation that result.</p><P><em>Rebel Rulers</em> is informed by Zachariah Cherian Mampilly's extensive fieldwork in rebel-controlled areas. Focusing on three insurgent organizations—the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka, the Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD) in Congo, and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) in Sudan—Mampilly's comparative analysis shows that rebel leaders design governance systems in response to pressures from three main sources. They must take into consideration the needs of local civilians, who can challenge rebel rule in various ways. They must deal with internal factions that threaten their control. And they must respond to the transnational actors that operate in most contemporary conflict zones. The development of insurgent governments can benefit civilians even as they enable rebels to assert control over their newly attained and sometimes chaotic territories.</p> 02 When insurgents take and hold territory, they can develop systems of governance that deliver public services to civilians under their control. This book reflects Zachariah Cherian Mampilly's extensive fieldwork in rebel-controlled areas. 04 <p>1. Introduction: Governing Rebels <br />2.

With original material acquired during difficult fieldwork behind rebel lines, Zachariah Cherian Mampilly offers an insightful and elegant theory of rebel governance that blends the insurgents' strategic goals with the expectations of local civilians and international actors. <em>Rebel Rulers</em> is a rare and nuanced look into the politics of 'nonstates.'"—Pierre Englebert, Pomona College<br /></p> 08 <p>"<em>Rebel Rulers</em> is a critical and innovative addition to studies of governance: in moving beyond the state to explore contemporary insurgent practices in key conflicts around the world, Zachariah Cherian Mampilly challenges us to refine our theories of power and practice as well as our understanding of deep life in rebellion. Delving into the vibrant interplay of intentions and actions at the front lines of extra-state politics, this book is powerfully international, theoretically astute, ethnographically rich, and evocative."—Carolyn Nordstrom, University of Notre Dame, author of <em>Global Outlaws</em></p> 04 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100731790/images/80140100731790L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100731790/images/80140100731790S.jpg http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100731790 Cornell University Press 01 02 2021862 Cornell University Press Ithaca US 04 20110811 01 WORLD 01 9.25 in 02 6.13 in 08 20 oz 07 2021862 CUP Services http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu 02 CA MX US BV AL AD AM AU AT AZ BY BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT LU UM MT MC ME NL NZ NO PG PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA 02 Y 21 28 01 02 s 45.00 USD 06 5013546051314 NBN International http://www.nbninternational.com 02 BV AL AD AM AT AZ BY BE BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI FR GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT UM MT MD MC ME NL NO PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA AU CA JP MX US NZ PG 02 Y 20 20110811 28 01 02 s 02 27.95 GBP
