Armed Groups is the most comprehensive text to provide a framework for categorizing the key actors that pose a threat to today's security arena-terrorists, mercenaries, insurgents, militias, and transnational criminal organizations-and analyzing their characteristics to provide a thorough overview.

Additionally, globalization, the privatization of force, and the return of great power competition have altered the security landscape and enhanced armed group threats. These forces have also led to an increasing overlap between conflict and crime, and a growth in the state use of armed group proxies. Coming to terms with armed groups-their objectives, strategies, internal composition, and the environment that fosters them-remains a critical task for practitioners, scholars, and policy makers alike in understanding the changing nature of war.
