Our understanding of civil war is shot through with the spectre of
quagmire, a situation that traps belligerents, compounding and
entrenching war's dangers. Despite the subject's importance, its
causes are obscure. A pervasive 'folk' notion that quagmire is
intrinsic to certain countries or wars has foreclosed inquiry, and
scholarship has failed to identify quagmire as an object of study
in its own right. Schulhofer-Wohl provides the first treatment of
quagmire in civil war. In a rigorous but accessible analysis, he
explains how quagmire can emerge from domestic-international
interactions and strategic choices. To support the argument,
Schulhofer-Wohl draws upon field research on Lebanon's sixteen-year
civil war, structured comparisons with civil wars in Chad and
Yemen, and rigorous statistical analyses of all civil wars
worldwide fought between 1944 and 2006. The results make clear that
the 'folk' notion misdiagnoses quagmire and demand that we revisit
policies that rest upon it. Schulhofer-Wohl demonstrates that
quagmire is made, not found.
