TAC Research Tools

TAC's tools are intended to assist in the understanding of complex relationships found in tribal societies, especially those in transitions that lead to conflict. These tools range from a recently release "Guide to the Analysis of Insurgency" to modified "Nolan Graphs" superimposed on to X-Y Axis Graphs to illustrate tribal relationships that are difficult to understand in any other manner.
