| Résumé : | Some rebel groups abuse noncombatant populations while others exhibit restraint. Rebel leaders in some countries transform local structures of government while others do nothing more than extract resources. In some contexts, rebel groups kill their victims selectively, while in other environments rebel violence appears indiscriminate, even random. This book presents a theory to account for the different strategies pursued by rebel groups in civil war, explaining why patterns of insurgent violence vary so much across conflicts. It does so by examining the membership, structure, and behavior of four insurgent movements in Uganda, Mozambique, and Peru. Drawing on interviews with nearly 200 combatants and civilians who experienced violence firsthand, it shows that rebels' strategies depend in important ways on how difficult it is to launch a rebellion. Weinstein demonstrates how the environment in which rebellion emerges determines the patterns of violence that civilians experience |
