Description: "This book presents an analysis of the successes and failures of foreign interventions in intrastate ethnic wars. The main novelty of the book and its added-value to the current research in the fields of international security and conflict resolution is in considering successes of third party actions not by durable peace established in a target country (as this is a wide-spread scholarly view) but by actual fulfillment of intervention goals and objectives. Multilateral interventions are more likely to achieve success in the pursuit of their goals than unilateral actions. Nalbandov uses in-depth studies of interventions in Chad, Georgia, Somalia, and Rwanda, with the main theories of international security - the ethnic security dilemma and the credible commitment problem - to test and enrich this relevant book."--Jacket.
