| Zusammenfassung: | "This book extends principal-agent theory to the case of pro-Russian rebel militias in Eastern Ukraine. Russia's war in Ukraine demonstrates the much-discussed relations between the principal (Russia) and agent (rebel militias) in Eastern Ukraine. Russia's aggression against Ukraine in 2014 was a frontal challenge to the post-Cold War European regional order, and since 2022 has offered a challenge to global order. Filling the gap in the literature on indirect warfare and insurgencies, this book offers systematic insights into the structures and relations within the leaderless rebellion in the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. It introduces the concept of the delegation of leaderless rebellion, based on the argument that it is a specific kind of rebellion when local elites do not actively participate as the leaders of the rebellion. Random people, without any fighting or political experience and with no social embeddedness, become rebel commanders, which means the principal - Russia - faces serious challenges but also benefits from opportunities to exercise complete control over the rebel forces and administration. This book will be of much interest to students of civil wars and insurgencies, political violence, Eastern European politics, and International Relations in general." |

Russia's war in Ukraine demonstrates the much-discussed relations between the principal (Russia) and agent (rebel militias) in Eastern Ukraine. Russia's aggression against Ukraine in 2014 was a frontal challenge to the post-Cold War European regional order, and since 2022 has offered a challenge to global order. Filling the gap in the literature on indirect warfare and insurgencies, this book offers systematic insights into the structures and relations within the leaderless rebellion in the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. It introduces the concept of the delegation of leaderless rebellion, based on the argument that it is a specific kind of rebellion when local elites do not actively participate as the leaders of the rebellion. Random people, without any fighting or political experience and with no social embeddedness, become rebel commanders, which means the principal - Russia - faces serious challenges but also benefits from opportunities to exercise complete control over the rebel forces and administration. This book will be of much interest to students of civil wars and insurgencies, political violence, Eastern European politics, and International Relations in general."</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 2014-</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Russisch-Ukrainischer Krieg</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)106969780X</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Paramilitärischer Verband</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4192344-3</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Donezbecken</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4619838-6</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Russland</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4076899-5</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Paramilitary forces / Ukraine / Donbas (Region) / History / 21st century</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Russo-Ukrainian War, 2014- / Campaigns / Ukraine / Donbas (Region)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Donbas (Ukraine : Region) / History, Military / 21st century</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Donbas (Ukraine : Region) / History / Autonomy and independence movements</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Paramilitary forces / Russia (Federation)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Proxy war</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Forces paramilitaires / Russie</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Guerre par procuration</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Donezbecken</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4619838-6</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Russland</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4076899-5</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Paramilitärischer Verband</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4192344-3</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Russisch-Ukrainischer Krieg</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)106969780X</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 2014-</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe</subfield><subfield code="z">978-1-032-71091-4</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München -
