1-Discussion

Stainland (2014) identifies the social bases for political rebellion. He argues that prior organizations, as well as horizontal and vertical networks, are crucial conditioning variables in formation of the rebellion. But those variables do not speak for themselves. To Stainland (2014), adequate leadership is essential to overcome the challenges and to construct a “socially appropriate” organization that brings about successful rebellion.

Do you think that Stainland’s model/theory is complete? How would the incorporation of state preventive and counter-terrorism efforts, and the “roots” (i.e. poverty, ethnic heterogeneity, political repression, etc.) improve Stainland’s model/theory about the construction of a rebellion organization?
