In this book, Ariel Ahram offers a new perspective on a growing
threat to international and human security--the reliance of 'weak
states' on quasi-official militias, paramilitaries, and warlords.
Tracing the history of several "high profile" paramilitary
organizations, including Indonesia's various militia factions,
Iraq's tribal "awakening," and Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Basij
corps, the book shows why and how states co-opt these groups,
turning former rebels into state-sponsored militias. Building on an
historical and comparative empirical approach that emphasizes
decolonization, revolution, and international threat, the author
offers a new set of policy prescriptions for addressing this
escalating international crisis--with particular attention to
strategies for mitigating the impact of this devolution of violence
on the internal and international stability of states.
