Insurgency Studies

Insurgency Studies is an academic field that examines how and why non-state groups challenge established governments through unconventional warfare, such as guerrilla tactics and political activism. It explores the causes of insurgencies, their methods, and strategies for countering them. The goal is to understand the dynamics of these conflicts to develop effective responses, blending insights from politics, history, security, and society. This field helps policymakers, military strategists, and researchers better grasp complex internal conflicts to promote stability and peace.
