Recenzii
Many rebels build governing institutions because the order thereby created is popular with the population, who in turn support the rebels and help them win their war. This conventional wisdom ignores the fact that some rebel groups create unpopular governing institutions that provoke popular resistance. To address this puzzle, Megan Stewart develops a new typology of rebel governance types and argues that rebels with transformative goals (e.g. revolutionaries) implement extensive and intensive governance that, because it upsets the political and social status quo, is unpopular with segments of the population. Stewart bases her argument upon the enduring influence of the Chinese revolution, and describes a well-chosen set of rebellions that did, and did not, govern intensively and extensively. She supplements her historically-rich case narratives with broader statistical studies. Governing for Revolution presents a provocative and original statement about rebel governance that also exemplifies the benefits of mixing qualitative and quantitative research and offers important implications for civil war studies, research on state making and governance, and for scholarship on the consequences of revolution. Douglas Lemke, Professor of Political Science, Pennsylvania State University
Governing for Revolution skilfully weaves historical case studies and crossnational evidence since 1945 to show how rebel goals, not military necessity or economic drivers, shapes how they decide to govern civilians in wartime. A welcome addition to the growing literature on rebel governance that rightly places politics at the center of its theory of how insurgents rule civilians. Jason Lyall, Associate Professor of Government, Dartmouth College
Stewart's thoughtful analysis and careful empirical work shed light on a critical question that has hindered understanding of the dynamics of civil war: why do some rebel groups invest more in governing local populations than others? Her answers link the subjects of rebel governance to the consequences of war. Beautifully written and cogently argued, Governing for Revolution makes a significant contribution to literature on the social dynamics of political violence. Tanisha M.

Descriere
For some rebel groups, governance is not always part of a military strategy but a necessary element of realizing revolution through civil war.
