Hybrid forms of governance - where the central state authority does
not possess a monopoly of violence and fails to exercise control -
are not only an epiphenomena, but a reality likely to persist. This
book explores this phenomenon drawing on examples from the Middle
East and Africa. It considers the different sorts of actors - state
and non-state, public and private, national and transnational -
which possess power, examines the dynamics of the relationships
between central authorities and other actors, and reviews the
varying outcomes. The book provides an alternative view of the way
in which governance has been constructed and lived, puts forward a
conceptualisation of various forms of governance which have
hitherto been regarded as exceptions, and argues for such forms of
governance to be regarded as part of the norm.

This book examines the circumstances under which aid can contribute
to the management and transformation of intra-state conflicts. How
and when do insurgents govern? How does the presence of aid and
social services influence how insurgents govern? Under what
circumstances can aid contribute to the management and
transformation of civil wars? The established literature in this
area argues that aid exacerbates civil wars where resources are
scarce as greedy rebels steal resources for themselves. This book,
however, argues that under certain conditions such greed can be
good. Drawing on primary research from three very different
conflicts - Northern Ireland (1969-1998), southern Sudan
(1983-2005) and Tajikistan (1992-1997) - and more than 10 years'
experience working in and researching humanitarian crises, this
study breaks new ground through its wide-ranging comparison of
conflicts. The book argues that insurgent efforts to reap rewards
from aid and social services have in turn facilitated
organizational changes and that these changes, while they may have
had conflict-enhancing effects in the short term, have also
contributed to conflict transformation over the long term. This
book will be of much interest to students of insurgencies, civil
wars, comparative politics, conflict management, humanitarian
emergencies, public health and IR/Security Studies in general.
