Reviews
Many rebels build governing institutions because the order thereby created is popular with the population, who in turn support the rebels and help them win their war. This conventional wisdom ignores the fact that some rebel groups create unpopular governing institutions that provoke popular resistance. To address this puzzle, Megan Stewart develops a new typology of rebel governance types and argues that rebels with transformative goals (e.g. revolutionaries) implement extensive and intensive governance that, because it upsets the political and social status quo, is unpopular with segments of the population. Stewart bases her argument upon the enduring influence of the Chinese revolution, and describes a well-chosen set of rebellions that did, and did not, govern intensively and extensively. She supplements her historically-rich case narratives with broader statistical studies. Governing for Revolution presents a provocative and original statement about rebel governance that also exemplifies the benefits of mixing qualitative and quantitative research and offers important implications for civil war studies, research on state making and governance, and for scholarship on the consequences of revolution.

Synopsis
Prevailing views suggest rebels govern to enhance their organizational capacity, but this book demonstrates that some rebels undertake costly governance projects that can imperil their cadres during war. The origins for this choice began with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the Chinese Civil War. The CCP knowingly introduced challenging governance projects, but nevertheless propagated its strategy globally, creating a behavioural model readily available to later rebels. The likelihood of whether later rebels' will imitate this model is determined by the compatibility between their goals and the CCP's objectives; only rebels that share the CCP's revolutionary goals decide to mimic the CCP's governance fully. Over time, ideational and material pressures further encouraged (and occasionally rewarded) revolutionary rebels' conformity to the CCP's template. Using archival data from six countries, primary rebel sources, fieldwork and quantitative analysis, Governing for Revolution underscores the mimicry of and ultimate convergence in revolutionary rebels' governance, that persists even today, despite vast differences in ideology., Contrary to conventional wisdom which views governance as part of a military strategy, some rebels govern to achieve political ends, such as social revolution, and the nature of this wartime governance is learned from previous revolutionaries. For scholars, students, and practitioners interested in civil war, state-building and revolution.
