The methodology used to support developing nations and their Western allies consisted of a three-pronged political approach. The at-risk members of the population were resettled with a mixture of both voluntary and restrictive methods. Reward programs were developed to persuade the population to turn in an attempt to convert guerrillas. Direct financial rewards also proved effective in turning guerrillas. Malaysian guerrillas desired political power within a democratic system and therefore were the easiest to persuade. Taiwan's methods were partially successful in using voluntary methods to recruit defectors. Vietnamese peasants found corruption and the struggle for democracy sometimes more difficult than the harsh order imposed by the Viet Cong. Zimbabwe's counterinsurgency failed because there was an excessive emphasis on restrictive methods to frighten opponents rather than voluntary rewards for loyal Africans.
