In this book, Kimberly Marten shows why and how warlords undermine state sovereignty. Unlike the feudal lords of a previous era, warlords today are not state-builders. Instead they collude with cost-conscious, corrupt, or frightened state officials to flout and undermine state capacity. They thrive on illegality, relying on private militias for support, and often provoke violent resentment from those who are cut out of their networks. Some act as middlemen for competing states, helping to hollow out their own states from within. Countries ranging from the United States to Russia have repeatedly chosen to ally with warlords, but Marten argues that to do so is a dangerous proposition.Drawing on interviews, documents, local press reports, and in-depth historical analysis, Marten examines warlordism in the Pakistani tribal areas during the twentieth century, in post-Soviet Georgia and the Russian republic of Chechnya, and among Sunni militias in the U.S.-supported Anbar Awakening and Sons of Iraq programs. In each case state leaders (some domestic and others foreign) created, tolerated, actively supported, undermined, or overthrew warlords and their militias. Marten draws lessons from these experiences to generate new arguments about the relationship between states, sovereignty, "local power brokers," and stability and security in the modern world. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aWarlordism and international relations 606 $aWarlordism$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWarlordism$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWarlordism and international relations. 615 0$aWarlordism$xHistory 615 0$aWarlordism$xHistory 676 $a321.9 700 $aMarten$b Kimberly Zisk$f1963-$01016149 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452760703321 996 $aWarlords$92484620 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02750nam 2200709 a 450 001 9910784965903321 005 20230614044632.0 010 $a1-4462-3943-8 010 $a0-7619-5468-6 010 $a1-281-24020-6 010 $a9786611240202 010 $a1-84787-677-3 035 $a(CKB)1000000000410010 035 $a(EBL)334453 035 $a(OCoLC)476142453 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000191742 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11166063 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000191742 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10186633 035 $a(PQKB)11693329 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC334453 035 $a(OCoLC)1007857932 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000067604 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL334453 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10218321 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL124020 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB142194 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000410010 100 $a20120405d2003 fy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLiberal democracy 3.0$b[electronic resource] $ecivil society in an age of experts /$fStephen P.
