National leaders often worry that civil wars might spread, but also
seem to have little grasp on which civil wars will in fact draw in
other states. An ability to understand which civil wars are most
likely to draw in outside powers and when this is likely to happen
has important policy implications as well as simply answering a
scholarly question. Joining the Fray takes existing explanations
about which outside states are likely to intervene militarily in
civil wars and adds to them explanations about when states join and
why. Building on his earlier volume, Is this a Private Fight or Can
Anybody Join?, Zachary C. Shirkey looks at how the decision to join
a civil war can be intuitively understood as follows: given that
remaining neutral was wise when a war began something must change
in order for a country to change its beliefs about the benefits of
fighting and join the war. This book studies what these changes
are, focusing in particular on revealed information and commitment
problems.
