This book analyses the role of ideology and identity in the North Caucasus insurgency, exploring how rebel leaders balanced local, national, and global factors in their efforts to justify and promote armed struggle against the Russian state. -- .
Insurgency has plagued the North Caucasus since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Between 2007 and 2015, rebels waged their struggle under the banner of the Caucasus Emirate (Imarat Kavkaz, IK). This book systematically examines the IK''s ideology to explain what the group claimed to be fighting for and against and how it sought to mobilise people behind its cause. It reveals a group with a weakly developed political programme, which aligned itself with global jihadism but consistently prioritised local concerns. It demonstrates the priority rebel leaders afforded to shaping local identities, but also their failure to forge a unified movement or revitalise armed struggle. Re-evaluating the IK''s ideology helps us better understand the past and future of armed struggle in the North Caucasus.
