Globalisation and Insurgency

Author: John Mackinlay

The central proposition of this book is that global changes have altered the nature of insurgency by weakening some governments and empowering the forces that seek to overthrow them. The book identifies four distinct categories of insurgent force, and concludes that globalization of insurgency leads inexorably to the globalization of counter-insurgency.
