Recenzii
Belgin San-Akca explores the main forms of collaboration and support between states and rebel groups. In a thorough and convincing way, States in Disguise details the many motivations states have for supporting rebel groups and demonstrates that rebel groups exercise considerable autonomy in the process.
A systematic and innovative analysis of state support for rebel groups that stresses the agency of both sides. Based on an original dataset, the book makes an impressive contribution to understanding these complex and highly consequential relationships as well as to bringing violent non-state actors into the domain of typically state-centric international relations theory.
External actors are recognized as playing an important role in contemporary civil conflicts, yet agency is often neglected. This book argues convincingly that support must be understood as result of the interaction between rebels, target states, and potential supporting states, motivated by both domestic and external threats, and offers valuable new data on external support relations. It is a must-read for all interested in the transnational dimensions of civil war.
Shedding valuable light on the shady world of covert state support for rebel groups, this book makes a major contribution to the open-polity perspective on civil war. With admirable conceptual clarity and analytical precision, Belgin San-Akca shows that transnational conflict patterns cannot be reduced to rebels opportunistic exploitation of state weakness or simple models of proxy warfare. Instead, States in Disguise explains the interaction of strategies pursued by states and autonomous rebel organizations and how the former support the latter as an common and often crucial, but still unofficial, aspect of international relations.
