This book brings together several scholars to examine the
relationship between guerrilla insurgencies and state building. In
essays covering such societies as Mozambique, Algeria, Peru,
Malaysia and Sri Lanka the authors show that the rise of guerrilla
insurgency can lead states to develop far-reaching programmes of
social and economic modernisation or else in some cases to
disintegrate from within if the challenge of modernisation proves
to be beyond their capacities. The book argues that as the last
phase of colonial modernisation of developing states has finished
insurgencies increasingly threaten the cohesion of less developed
states in a global order in which superpower patronage has largely
ended.
