This book examines the impact of foreign intervention in the course
and nature of warfare in civil wars. Throughout history, foreign
intervention in civil wars has been the rule rather than the
exception. The involvement of outside powers can have a dramatic
impact on the course and nature of internal conflicts. Despite
this, there has been little research which has sought to explain
how foreign intervention influences the course of civil wars. This
book seeks to rectify this gap. It examines the impact of foreign
intervention on the warfare that characterises civil wars through
by studying the cases of the Angolan and Afghan civil wars. It
investigates how foreign resources affect the military power of the
recipient belligerent, and examines how changes in the balance of
capabilities influence the form of warfare that characterises a
civil war. Warfare in civil wars is often highly fluid, with
belligerents adapting their respective strategies in response to
shifts in the balance of military capabilities. This book shows how
the intervention of foreign powers can manipulate the balance of
capabilities between the civil war belligerents and change the
dominant form of warfare. The findings presented in this book offer
key insights for policy-makers to navigate the increasing
internationalization of civil wars around the globe. This book will
be of much interest to students of civil wars, intra-state
conflict, war and conflict studies, and security studies.
