What are the different political institutions rebels create to engage captive civilian populations, and how do they arrive at distinct political arrangements? Rebel-controlled territories host a diversity of political institutions ranging from structures designed to promote democratic decision-making to martial law. Although previous research has focused on rebel social service provision and other aspects of rebel governance, few have investigated variation in the institutional arrangements rebels adopt. In this article, we identify a set of four dimensions along which rebel political institutions vary leading to six ideal–typical forms of political arrangements. We argue that an iterative and dynamic stepwise process, determined by rebel group strategies and local conditions, produces one of these political institutional outcomes. Importantly, the type of rebel political institutions within one location can change throughout the war, and variation sometimes emerges across territories the same rebel group controls. We demonstrate the plausibility of our arguments through a series of illustrative case studies that correspond to the formation processes of our six ideal–typical political arrangements. We conclude with recommendations for future research.

反叛政治制度安排的类型学

叛乱分子建立了哪些不同的政治体制来与俘虏平民交战，它们如何达成独特的政治安排？叛军控制的领土拥有各种政治机构，从旨在促进民主决策的结构到戒严令。尽管先前的研究集中在反叛者提供社会服务和反叛者治理的其他方面，但很少有人研究过反叛者采用的制度安排。在本文中，我们确定了一组四个维度，叛乱政治制度沿这些维度变化，从而导致六种理想-典型的政治安排形式。我们认为，由叛军团体策略和当地条件决定的迭代而动态的逐步过程会产生这些政治体制成果之一。重要的，在整个战争中，一个地区内的叛乱政治机构的类型可能会发生变化，有时叛乱集团控制的地区之间会出现差异。我们通过一系列说明性案例研究证明了我们论证的合理性，这些案例研究与我们六种理想－典型政治安排的形成过程相对应。最后，我们提出了对未来研究的建议。
