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.
Contents: The puzzle and importance of military intervention in civil wars; Why states join civil wars: revealed information and commitment problems; The Hungarian revolution (1848-49): unexpected defeats and nagging commitment problems; The Lebanese civil war (1975-90): revealed information, commitment problems or pretexts?; The First and Second Congo wars (1996-2003): ethnic ties, refugee flows and commitment problems; The Afghan civil war (1978-2001): invasion versus military aid; Conclusions, extensions, implications for policy and avenues for future research; Bibliography; Index.
