Definición

  • Insurgency is a form of intrasocietal conflict within a state, in which a nonruling group attempts to destroy, reform, or degrade the legitimacy and popular support of the state's ruling group to effect political change. Insurgencies are primarily political movements rather than conventional military conflicts, as insurgent groups attempt to defeat a stronger military power with political activism, subversion, propaganda, and intimidation through terror and assassination tactics.
