Paper on Parallel Hierarchies

[Marc]

I am referring to the political hierarchies that insurgencies develop/create to counter the host government, and provide social services to the people. These are not necessarily legal or parallel to the insurgency, but rather an administrative part of the insurgency, and a parallel administration to the host government. For an overview of what parallel hierarchies/shadow governments are see O'Neill's Insurgency and Terrorism, chapter 6 pages 116 to 121.

thanks for responding!
