The book examines paramilitary groups in Latin America, which are among the violent non-state organisations that the global community now faces, from FARC in Colombia to the Taliban in Afghanistan. It asks how such groups emerge and what gives them their force.
The analysis looks at what makes it possible for these paramilitary groups to organise and mobilise, and at how they can challenge democratic institutions. The subtitle names the central question: how these groups emerge and challenge democracy in the region.
