Table of ContentsReviews'Leading strategy expert Isabelle Duyvesteyn has created a new framework for our understanding of the mechanisms of insurgencies and COIN. Lucidly written, this book blends and builds on political science theories and behavioural psychology, illustrated with case-study vignettes, and rounded off with valuable advice for practitioners. An admirable achievement!' Beatrice Heuser, Professor of International Relations, University of Glasgow 'This book is a most welcome innovative, nuanced, and probing analysis of the understudied dynamic processes of conflict escalation and de-escalation, with special insights about rebel violence. This work deserves special commendation for emphasizing that such processes can often be messy and inadvertent and for providing a robust conceptual and empirical challenge to commonly-held assumptions about their linear rationality.' Bob Mandel, Professor of International Affairs, Lewis & Clark 'Isabelle Duvesteyn's book offers an original and highly stimulating new perspective on the notion of escalation and de-escalation in conflict. Her volume makes an important contribution to our knowledge and understanding of this under-studied and under-theorized area.' M. L. R.
