Alongside these disciplinary orientations, our project builds on the existing scholarship on rebel governance (the governing practices or insurgent movements) and de facto states (self-declared sovereign states with limited or no international recognition).

Authors that we draw on include Eiki Berg and James Ker-Lindsay, Nina Caspersen, George Kyris, Zachariah Mampilly, Ana Arjona and her co-authors, and Gëzim Visoka.
