Militant groups often use violence, perversely, to gain attention
and resources. In this book, the authors analyze how terrorist and
rebel organizations compete with one another to secure funding and
supporters. The authors develop a strategic model of competitive
violence among militant groups and test the model's implications
with statistical analysis and case studies. A series of model
extensions allow the authors to incorporate the full range of
strategic actors, focusing in particular on government efforts to
counter and deter violence. The results indicate that the direct
effects of competition are not as clear as they may seem, and
interventions to alter competitive incentives may backfire if
states are not careful. This is a timely contribution to a growing
body of political economy research on militant group fragmentation,
rivalry, fratricide and demonstrative violence.
