The editors of Rebel economies have assembled a unique, multidisciplinary collection of contributions on how non-state actors organize their economies, finance their activities and interact with formal economic and financial systems.

This book would make a good supplemental text for a course on conflict economics, or work as an introduction to conflict economics in a course on intra-state conflict.
