Theoretical Frameworks of Insurgency

Theoretical frameworks of insurgency study how and why groups oppose established governments through unconventional means. They consider factors like political grievances, social injustices, and economic disparities that motivate insurgents. These frameworks analyze strategies such as guerrilla warfare, propaganda, and gaining local support, emphasizing that insurgencies often stem from a blend of political, social, and cultural causes. Understanding these theories helps policymakers and security forces develop effective responses by addressing root issues and countering insurgent tactics without escalating conflict.
