The authors present eight theoretically grounded country studies, focusing in each on the historical background of the rebel movement, its (attempted or successful) transformation into a political party, and the factors explaining success or failure. Bridging the academic-policy divide, they identify concrete lessons from previous transformations processes, as well as options for future international involvement.
"This book covers an important topic, the transformation of armies and paramilitaries into political actors.... The contributors are known experts in their field and the quality of the case studies is very high."—Susan L. Woodward, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
"The case studies are excellent, well-written and carefully researched—and will attract a broad readership."—Terrence Lyons, George Mason University
"The lessons learned and the questions posed in this study are of great importance. The waves of rebellion are not yet behind us. Studying and learning from the underlying reasons for rebellion is a matter of high relevance for governance, national as well as international."—Jan Pronk, former UN Special Representative for Sudan
