SUMMARY:Between the Moral and Market Economy: Rebel Taxation as a Technolo
 gy of Governance - Zachariah Mampilly\, Vassar College

DESCRIPTION:Why do rebels engage in taxation? I argue that the economic in
 strumentalism that underlines most studies is inadequate for understanding
  the logic of rebel taxation. I introduce several potential political logi
 cs for rebel taxation. Some of these have no direct economic benefit while
  others are secondary to the economic rational. Based on fieldwork in Sout
 h Sudan\, India\, Sri Lanka and Colombia\, I illustrate these dynamics dra
 wing on examples from recent conflicts. I conclude that taxation should be
  understood as a technology of governance that rebels deploy to define\, r
 egulate and control the economic and social life of civilian populations.
