Beskrivning

As a pervasive occurrence in the contemporary world, wars and their economic sources are defining social and political processes in a variety of national and transnational contexts. Rebel Economies: Warlords, Insurgents, Humanitarians explores historical, anthropological and political dimensions of war economies by non-state actors across different periods and regions, while presenting their multiple manifestations as a unified, congruent phenomenon. Through a variety of conceptual and disciplinary approaches, the authors investigate, in the past and present and across three continents, the nexuses between economy, war, social transformation and state-building, revealing in the process differences and similarities that would otherwise remain hidden. Through this broad-gauge approach, the book aims, first, to rethink much of the debate around “non-state war economies,” and, secondly, to expand the conversation by consciously treating this theme as a conspicuous and distinct aspect of both economy and war. This is not just a different approach but a fundamental departure from the ways in which current discussions over the economy of wars, civil conflicts, and revolutions, have informed research orientations over several decades.

Recensioner i media

The editors of Rebel economies have assembled a unique, multidisciplinary collection of contributions on how non-state actors organize their economies, finance their activities and interact with formal economic and financial systems. This multidisciplinary approach is welcome addition to International Relations’ understanding of rebel economies, and opens doors for other disciplines to make contributions to these fields. This book would make a good supplemental text for a course on conflict economics, or work as an introduction to conflict economics in a course on intra-state conflict.
