Governing for Revolution
by Megan A. Stewart, Assistant Professor of School of International Service at American University
Why do some rebel groups undertake costly, intensive governance projects that trigger resistance and violence, undermine their legitimacy, strengthen rival rebel groups, and even put their own combatants and civilians at risk, while other rebel groups do not? I argue that the nature of rebel groups’ long-term goals determines the nature of rebel governance strategies. Rebels with revolutionary goals believe in the necessity and appropriateness of undertaking intensive and maximal governance during war, even though these burdensome governance schemes could be saved until after rebels secure military victory. By contrast, rebel groups with non-revolutionary goals limit their governance interventions to prioritize their military endeavors.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
