DESCRIPTION:Payments made to non-state armed groups are often treated as pr
 edation. But rebels deploy multiple logics when constructing their taxatio
 n systems\, many of which cannot be reduced to extortion. Rebels also use 
 taxation as a “technology of governance” to resolve a number of social
  and political challenges related to constructing a wartime order. Drawing
  on field work in three different countries (Colombia\, India\, South Suda
 n)\, Zachariah Mampilly\, Marxe School of Public and International Affairs
 \, CUNY\, looks at the distinct taxation systems established by armed grou
 ps in each. \n\nIn Colombia\, the author focuses on the FARC-EP’s taxati
 on of coca to reveal the ideological and political factors that shaped the
 ir taxation system. In India\, he examines how the NSCN-IM implemented dis
 tinct taxation regimes across four distinct subnational areas of control. 
 And finally\, in South Sudan\, he explores the role of external actors in 
 shaping the nature of the rebel taxation system.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nZac
 hariah Mampilly is the Marxe Endowed Chair of International Affairs at the
  Marxe School of Public and International Affairs\, CUNY and a member of t
 he doctoral faculty in the Department of Political Science at the Graduate

 arch. He is the author of Rebel Rulers: Insurgent Governance and Civilian
