Mali: Conflict, Social Order and the Crime-Terror Nexus
This article examines the relationship between conflict, social order, and the crime-ter ror nexus, with a focus on non-state armed groups in Mali, particularly Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM). Using anarchist political theory, the study challenges the view of these groups as purely chaotic, instead suggesting their primary aim is to establish social order. The crime-terror nexus is explored to understand its role in new governance stru…
Early Cold War Counterinsurgency: The Romanian Campaign in Comparative Perspective (1944-1962)
This paper offers a comparison between Romanian communist counterinsurgency (1944–1962) and similar campaigns fought by Western and Eastern governments in the early Cold War, in particular those waged by the British and French governments in their African, Asian and European colonies and those of the Soviet Union in its borderlands. The comparison focuses on three main components, population control, intelligence and military operations. Highligh…
Christian Dimensions of Violence: The Séléka/Anti-Balaka Militias and the Lord’s Resistance Army in the Central African Republic
Beginning in 2013, the Central African Republic has been engulfed in a civil war pitting successive governments against a substantial number of armed groups who also compete against each other for control over territory, population and resources.

Political Theory of Armed Groups: Social Order and Armed Groups
This Brief provides a comprehensive introduction to current research on armed groups and proposes a unitary political theory for their future analysis. Traditionally, theoretical and historical approaches to armed groups have focused on different categories of armed groups insurgents, radical groups, militias, governmental forces instead of treating them as unitary actors in international politics. This Brief departs from this traditional theoret…
Intelligence and intelligence operations in Romanian anti-partisan warfare, 1944-1958
The Romanian anti-communist partisans constituted a small, scattered, diffused, and leaderless movement united only by nationalism and by the belief that armed struggle would contribute to the downfall of an illegitimate regime supported by a foreign power. This article provides an analysis of intelligence and intelligence operations used by the government to defeat these guerrillas, in a conflict that lasted a decade and a half. The sources for …
November 4th, 1878 in the Life of Titu Maiorescu
This article uses the history of daily life to highlight the larger connections between interlocking networks of cultural and political power and bourgeois mentalities and mores in late nineteenth-century Romania. Focusing on the figure of Titu Maiorescu, a reformer of education, language, and literature, as well as a conservative politician, it illuminates “how things were done” in a society still trapped between agrarian realities and Westerniz…
Military Operations in Romanian Anti-Partisan Warfare, 1944–1958
Romanian anti-communist armed resistance has received relatively little attention outside the country, despite its resemblance to other small, diffused, headless insurgencies being fought in the first decades of the twenty-first century. This article deals with military operations mounted against the partisans, with a special focus on tactics such as cordoning, checkpoints, patrols, sweeps, ambushes, and informed strikes. Based mostly on primary …
