This new book provides a framework for understanding the international relations of armed groups including terrorist organizations insurgencies and warlords which play an increasingly important role in the international system.This new book provides a framework for understanding the international relations of armed groups including terrorist organizations insurgencies and warlords which play an increasingly important role in the international system.Specifically the book argues that such groups can be understood as taking part in the balance of power with states and other armed groups as they are empirically sovereign nonstate actors that are motivated by the pursuit of power and exist as part of an anarchic selfhelp system. This radically new approach offers a renewed conceptualization of Neorealism and provides new insights into debates about sovereignty nonstate actors new wars counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. The approach is illustrated through case studies on Somali warlords the security complex between the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA) Sudan and Uganda as well as Al Qaeda. The book provides insights into such issues as how nonstate actors can be integrated into structural theories of international relations and also offers pragmatic methodologies for the foreign policy or military practitioner such as how to best deter terrorists.List of Acronyms 1.
