Undermining the State from Within pulls back the curtain on the
counterinsurgent state to better understand how conflict dynamics
affect state institutions and continue to shape political and
economic development in the postwar period. Drawing on unique
archival and interview data from war and postwar Central America,
this book illuminates how counterinsurgent actors, under the
pretext of combatting an insurgent threat, introduce alternative
rules within state institutions, which undermine core activities
like tax collection, public security provision, and property
administration. Moreover, it uncovers how the counterinsurgent
elite outmaneuvers governance reforms during democratic transition
and peacebuilding to preserve the predatory wartime status quo. In
so doing, this book rethinks the relationship between war and state
formation, challenges existing scholarly and policy approaches to
peacebuilding and post-conflict institutional reform and
contributes a new understanding of what civil war leaves behind in
an institutional sense.
