Prevailing views suggest rebels govern to enhance their
organizational capacity, but this book demonstrates that some
rebels undertake costly governance projects that can imperil their
cadres during war. The origins for this choice began with the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the Chinese Civil War. The CCP
knowingly introduced challenging governance projects, but
nevertheless propagated its strategy globally, creating a
behavioural model readily available to later rebels. The likelihood
of whether later rebels' will imitate this model is determined by
the compatibility between their goals and the CCP's objectives;
only rebels that share the CCP's revolutionary goals decide to
mimic the CCP's governance fully. Over time, ideational and
material pressures further encouraged (and occasionally rewarded)
revolutionary rebels' conformity to the CCP's template. Using
archival data from six countries, primary rebel sources, fieldwork
and quantitative analysis, Governing for Revolution underscores the
mimicry of and ultimate convergence in revolutionary rebels'
governance, that persists even today, despite vast differences in
ideology.
