Book Synopsis
Despite the centrality of mobility to the operations of both state and non-state armed groups as well as the survival strategies of civilians in conflict zones, issues of mobility have remained tangential to how we analyse armed insurgencies. This book foregrounds mobility as a key arena where state and non-state actors jostle for ascendancy.
