"Many of the world's states--from Algeria to Ireland to the United States--are the result of robust national movements that achieved independence. Many other national movements haver failed in their attempts to achieve statehood, including the Basques, the Kurds, and the Palestinians. In Rebel Power, Peter Krause offers a powerful new theory to explain this variation focusing on the internal balance of power amng nationalist groups, who cooperate with each other to establish a new state while simultaneously competing to lead it."--Back cover. by Peter Krause
