A recent wave of civil conflict scholarship examines rebel governance, the process through which insurgent groups organize local affairs in areas under their control. While current research predominantly focuses on the supply side of rebel governance, the attention given to the demand side has been relatively limited. In this study, we take stock of recent scholarship on the dynamic relationship between rebels and civilians to theoretically explore the supply side of rebel governance and develop a new demand-side typology that captures the key factors influencing civilian preferences regarding the nature of rebel rule. Specifically, we argue that demand for rebel governance is mainly shaped by the interaction between civilians’ perceptions of the state and civilian–rebel compatibility, which we define as civilians’ perceptions of the compatibility of the rebel group with their own values, ideology, identity, and preferred modes of socio-political organization. To illustrate our main theoretical points, we draw upon insights gleaned from multiple insurgencies. Our study significantly enhances our understanding of how rebel–civilian interactions mold the fabric of political order in civil war environments.

反叛治理的供给与需求

最近的一波国内冲突学术研究研究了叛乱治理，即叛乱团体在其控制的地区组织地方事务的过程。虽然目前的研究主要集中在叛乱治理的供给方，但对需求方的关注相对有限。在这项研究中，我们盘点了最近关于叛乱分子与平民之间动态关系的学术成果，从理论上探讨了叛乱分子治理的供给方，并开发了一种新的需求方类型学，以捕捉影响平民对叛乱统治性质的偏好的关键因素。具体来说，我们认为，对叛乱组织治理的需求主要是由平民对国家的看法与平民与叛乱分子的兼容性之间的相互作用决定的，我们将其定义为平民对叛乱组织与其自身价值观、意识形态、身份的兼容性的看法。 ，以及社会政治组织的首选模式。为了说明我们的主要理论观点，我们借鉴了从多次叛乱中收集的见解。我们的研究极大地增强了我们对叛乱分子与平民之间的互动如何塑造内战环境中政治秩序结构的理解。
