Governance as a strategy of legitimation: A study of the Afghan Taliban’s Education governance from the 1990s until today
Life After Child Forced Begging in Senegal's daaras: The Trajectories of talibés After They Leave Exploitative marabouts
Armed Groups, Religious Leaders, and Humanitarian Norms: A Case Study of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Syria and Ansar Allah in Yemen
As international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) continue to be violated, engaging non-state armed groups (NSAGs) remains an arduous task for humanitarian workers. Among the novel approaches to promote and defend these legal regimes among NSAGs, growing attention is devoted to the roles that religious leaders might play in promoting behaviours in compliance with IHL and IHRL. This approach seems especially pertine…
Israeli-Iranian relations: Past friendship, current hostility
With decades of multilayered close cooperation transformed into outright hostility, Iran and Israel have been trying to strengthen their strategic posture vis-à-vis each other: Israel by attacking Iranian-related targets in Syria and befriending Arab countries; Iran by supporting armed militias and terror organisations and pursuing a nuclear weapons programme. While neither state seems interested in military confrontation, miscalculations can nev…
State Weakness, al-Qa'ida, and Rebel Governance: Yemen from the Arab Spring until 2022
As the Arab Spring arrived in Yemen, al-Qa'ida joined the insurgency, conquered territories, and governed them. Eleven years later, I aim to assess whether the conditions that led to the group's emergence as both insurgent and governor have changed. I argue that, while al-Qa'ida is weaker, Yemen remains deeply vulnerable with a government in exile, an ongoing civil war, and armed groups in control of extensive territory. In this context, a resurg…
Understanding Governance by Insurgent Non-State Actors: A Multi-Dimensional Typology
The phenomenon of governance by insurgents characterises many contexts of civil war and influences political, security, social, and economic dynamics in the original conflict zone and beyond. Therefore, understanding how different insurgents govern seems of crucial importance. However, in the existing literature no typology has been advanced that captures the multiple dimensions of rebel governance and allows to develop detailed and comparable as…
Rebel Governance at the Time of Covid-19: Emergencies as Opportunities for Rebel Rulers
As Covid-19 has spread worldwide, not only governments but also rebel rulers have had to face the crisis. Therefore, it is important to understand whether exogenous shocks pose to rebel rulers the same challenges they pose to governments. To answer this question, I will refer to the academic literature and I will study two insurgent groups that have been confronted by coronavirus – Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and the Taliban. Following the case studies,…
