About Book

Inside Rebellion: The Politics of Insurgent Violence explores the internal dynamics of insurgent groups, focusing on the factors that shape their use of violence and their ability to govern. Drawing on a comparative analysis of case studies, Jeremy M. Weinstein investigates why some insurgent groups engage in brutal violence, while others maintain discipline and work towards political goals. The book challenges conventional perspectives by examining the role of economic incentives, social networks, and organizational structures in determining the behavior of insurgent groups. Weinstein provides critical insights into counterterrorism, radicalization, and the complexities of peacebuilding in post-conflict settings.
