    This paper reviews how rebel leaders motivate followers to fight in wars in Sub-Saharan Africa. Almost all rebel leaders do use economic incentives, but they also avail themselves of other strategies to motivate their soldiers, including political indoctrination, ethnic mobilisation and coercion. The type of incentive employed will depend primarily on the nature of the state confronted. In particular, those movements that face competent national militaries will have to evolve into viable armies while rebels fighting states that are weak and corrupt can afford to lead movements that employ coercion and pursue economic agendas.

    Why might former rebel combatants ever revert to fighting? The purpose of this research note is to inform the scholarly community on rebel incentives to remobilize for violence, a topic which has been underexplored in the literature, using evidence from an ongoing conflict: the case of volunteer ex-combatants in the Syrian civil war. In late 2014 to early 2015, we conducted surveys with 196 ex-fighters who served with different rebel group brigades linked to the Free Syrian Army as well as moderate Islamist and jihadist groups. Interviews were conducted in Gaziantep, Turkey, a common destination for combatants exiting the battlefield in rebel-held territory in northern Syria. We find that ex-fighters who are ideologically committed to the defeat of the Assad regime and/or the establishment of an Islamic state are most likely to want to return to combat. However, rebel group organizational deficiencies and strategies keep many highly motivated fighters away. Our results illustrate how rebel fighters might quickly remobilize when disciplined, well-organized rebel groups emerge on the scene, as evidenced by the rapid ascent of the Islamic State (ISIS).

    Why do people risk their lives fighting in wars? This article looks beyond group grievance and material benefits to addanother psychological mechanism explaining why people choose to fight ornotto fight – perceived collective action.An individual is much more likely to fight when they perceive that others will also fight. Contrary to the expectationsof social identity theory and social pressure theory, the effect of perceived collective action is stronger among thosewho have a weaker national identity because they are more likely to rationally calculate the chance of winning byaccounting for others’ decisions. To mitigate the endogeneity in post-conflict cross-sectional surveys, we conduct asurvey experiment (n¼1,001) in Taiwan manipulating perceptions of others’ willingness to fight in a potentialChina–Taiwan military conflict. Experimental evidence supports the hypotheses that perceived collective actionworks only on weak Taiwanese identifiers. The result holds in robustness checks and in another nationally repre-sentative survey.
