商品簡介
A number of very different considerations are part of the decision for an outside power to take part in another country's civil war. Shirkey (political science, Hunter College) addresses a number of questions: Which civil wars are likely to attract other countries? When is the intervention likely to occur? Which countries can be expected to intervene and why? The author's analyses of existing explanations and responses to those questions are thoughtful, well-articulated, and well-reasoned. The issue of neutrality or intervention for outside countries, and what factors influence that decision are certainly timely. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
