The book develops a simple model based on \u003cstrong\u003egoals\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emeans\u003c\/strong\u003e, which allows us to increase our understanding and comprehension of organisations and individuals that decide to take up arms in the name of a political cause. One of the key arguments is that statehood plays a critical role for NSAAs, irrespective of their military capabilities, ideological aspirations and geographic origins. They are 'non-state' not by choice but because they are unable to be a 'state' actor. In other words, their stateless status is a matter of lack of power, not lack of will. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the aim of shedding light on the \u003cstrong\u003eintimate relationship\u003c\/strong\u003e between NSAAs and statehood, the book examines 25 cases from around the globe. These armed actors use violence in order to attain divergent political aims, which are segmented into two macro categories, namely territorial change (secessionists) and regime change (Marxists-Leninist, Salafi-Jihadists and far-right). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaume Castan Pinos\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science and Public Management, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), and Visiting Associate Professor at Sciences Po Strasbourg.
