Rebel Legitimization is a political process by which rebel actors establish institutionalized claims to govern through the systematic embedding of authority structures, symbolic narratives, and service delivery mechanisms in contested territories, thereby distinguishing their governance from mere coercion or insurgency through the pursuit of popular recognition and normative rule-making.
