Sherry Zaks argues that the key to successful rebel-to-party transformations lies in the organizational structures and institutions that rebels build during wartime. These proto-party structures, which involve governance, political messaging, social outreach, and other noncombat tasks, equip rebel groups with the personnel, skills, and routines needed to succeed in the electoral arena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZaks draws on insights from organizational sociology to reconceptualize how rebel groups operate. Through examining the Farabundo Mart? National Liberation Front in El Salvador and other cases, they demonstrate that rebel groups with established proto-party structures often form the core of post-conflict parties and attract more votes. Innovative in approach and rich in evidence, \u003ci\u003e Resilience beyond Rebellion\u003c\/i\u003e advances our understanding of rebel group dynamics both during and after conflict by showing that party-building begins not with the last bullet fired but with the very first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sherry Zaks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501782479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501782473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sherry Zaks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670363590911,"sku":"9781501782473","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_239a42da-e327-4f7d-8764-aaf83b855610.jpg?v=1741316851","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resilience-beyond-rebellion-sherry-zaks-9781501782473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
