Civil wars and foreign powers

outside intervention in intrastate conflict

Edición de la obra Civil Wars and Foreign Powers

"Recent large-scale intervention by the United States and its allies in Europe in the conflict in Bosnia and Kosovo again raises the question: Under what conditions do third parties intervene in civil conflicts to stop fighting? Patrick Regan systematically addresses this issue in Civil Wars and Foreign Powers: Outside Intervention in Intrastate Conflict. Regan uses data on all civil conflicts since 1945 to identify those conflicts that are amenable to outside interventions and the types of interventions that are more likely to be successful."--BOOK JACKET.
