Good Rebel Governance

Meer over het boek

The book examines the emergence of participatory politics and governance during the 2011 Syrian uprising, highlighting the role of local resistance and institutions amidst conflict. It critiques the U.S. and allies' efforts to promote liberal democracy in Syria, exploring the concept of "good rebel governance" as part of foreign intervention. By analyzing how governing authority develops in violent contexts, the work challenges existing theories on insurgent rule and the effectiveness of Western democracy promotion strategies.
