Conflict Among Rebels
The Politics of Holy Cities in the Twenty-First Century
Why Insurgent Groups Fight Each Other Costantino Pischedda
Michael Dumper
Why do rebel groups frequently clash instead of cooperating against their shared enemy, the state? Examining the dynamics of civil wars in Iraq, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, and Syria, Costantino Pischedda argues that infighting is a calculated response by rebel groups to perceived opportunities and vulnerabilities.
Michael Dumper explores the causes and consequences of contemporary conflicts in holy cities. He offers five case studies of important disputes, beginning with Jerusalem, often seen as the paradigmatic example of a holy city in conflict, and discussing Córdoba, Banaras, Lhasa, and George Town in Malaysia.
