Things come together: Symbolic violence and guerrilla mobilization
Article Abstract:
Nascent insurgencies often face an initial mobilization problem that can adversely affect their ability to grow into a real threat to the state. How armed opposition groups resolve this problem through the use of symbolic violence and the manipulation of violent images and once successful, the transformation of their generated images into facts to achieve a self-sustaining mobilization programme is examined.

From collapsing states to neo-trusteeship: The limits to solving the problems of 'precarious statehood' in the 21st century
Article Abstract:
The suitability of neo-trusteeship arrangements and alternatives such as 'shared sovereignty' as a policy response to the problem of collapsing or collapsed states is examined. Although shared sovereignty arrangements also require consensus between local and international actors in order to succeed, they are more likely to appeal because they are partial rather than comprehensive in scope.
