Reviews
“Interventions in civil wars are ubiquitous. Mattoon provides a fascinating and rigorous comparative analysis of the important role of colonial relationships in the success of interventions. A must reading for students of civil war.” (Gary Goertz, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, USA)
“Audrey Mattoon demonstrates how much can be gained from the articulation of case studies and QCA: shedding new light on specific, historical cases while at the same time producing more general findings with high theoretical and policy relevance. Both scholars and policymakers interested in the effectiveness of military interventions in post-colonial regions will learn a lot from this compelling volume.” (Benoît Rihoux, Full Professor, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium and Coordinator of COMPASSS international network (compasss.org))
“A smart, unique, and timely perspective on military intervention in civil war. Dr. Mattoon’s detailed consideration about what makes a successful third-party intervention raises important issues for policy makers and state actors considering intervention as well as the general public. In this time of global insecurity and increased civil war violence, these observations advance the study of civil war and prompt critical thinking about who is best equipped to successfully intervene in these conflicts.” (Renée Edwards, Senior Researcher, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, USA)
