Wars from Within brings together an international and
multidisciplinary group of academics and practitioner-researchers
specializing in the study of insurgent movements in order to
provide a deeper understanding of the violent manifestations of
insurgencies in different parts of the world. In doing so, the book
adopts both a functional and regional approach. Firstly, thematic
chapters discuss the typology of insurgencies (ethnopolitical,
religious and ideological), past and potential responses to them,
as well as the impact of advance communication technology on
insurgent activity. The book then presents a series of case studies
assessing the successes and failures of managing contemporary
insurgencies. These are drawn from European, Asian and Middle
Eastern insurgencies, as well as the global al-Qaeda network that
typifies the post-9/11 challenge posed by internationally operating
terrorist organizations. The case studies highlight factors and
conditions that trigger, escalate, de-escalate and ultimately end
insurgent campaigns. The book concludes with an assessment of how
the international community at large has responded and should
respond to insurgencies in the future.
