The authors ask the questions: how do political military interventions come about, proceed, and end?; and what can be learned from cases of foreign military intervention into the domestic affairs of another state? One of the basic assumptions of foreign policy strategists has been that strong nation-states can use their military might to impose or maintain a favourable political order on weaker states. This assumption was held by American strategists of the '50s and '60s as they intervened in Vietnam, the Soviet Politburo when it sent troops into Afghanistan in '79, and the Israeli government when it invaded Lebanon. This book presents the international voices of scholars and policy analysts who have scrutinized this issue. By exploring a broad range of recent case studies, they identify the patterns that emerge, especially the substantial variations among the interveners, the target countries, and the local allies, as well as the timing, strategies, motivations, and justifications.
Industry Reviews
"The cases themselves, written by distinguished scholars, are rich, and their focused comparison in the method of Alexander George not only confirms some conventional conclusions-it's easier to go in than to get out-but also elucidates the complicated politics between intervener and client." -- "Foreign Affairs"
