As a pervasive occurrence in the contemporary world, wars and their
economic sources are defining social and political processes in a
variety of national and transnational contexts. Rebel Economies:
Warlords, Insurgents, Humanitarians explores historical,
anthropological and political dimensions of war economies by
non-state actors across different periods and regions, while
presenting their multiple manifestations as a unified, congruent
phenomenon. Through a variety of conceptual and disciplinary
approaches, the authors investigate, in the past and present and
across three continents, the nexuses between economy, war, social
transformation and state-building, revealing in the process
differences and similarities that would otherwise remain hidden.
Through this broad-gauge approach, the book aims, first, to rethink
much of the debate around "non-state war economies," and, secondly,
to expand the conversation by consciously treating this theme as a
conspicuous and distinct aspect of both economy and war. This is
not just a different approach but a fundamental departure from the
ways in which current discussions over the economy of wars, civil
conflicts, and revolutions, have informed research orientations
over several decades.
