| Title | EXPLAINING THE SUCCESS OF FOREIGN INTERVENTIONS IN INTRASTATE ETHNIC CONFLICTS: UNILATERAL VERSUS MULTILATERAL ACTIONS |
| Summary | The dissertation presents an analysis of successes and failures of foreign interventions in intrastate ethnic wars. The main novelty of the dissertation is in considering successes of third party actions not by durable peace established in a target country but by actual fulfillment of intervention goals and aims. The main working hypothesis of the dissertation is that multilateral interventions are more likely to achieve success in the pursuit of their goals than unilateral actions. For this purpose the dissertation distinguishes between unilateral and multilateral interventions and studies them in two different directions. First, the large-N regression analysis of 107 cases of foreign interventions in ethnic conflicts studies the effect of the main independent variable – composition of the interveners – on their ability to achieve the goals of their interventions. Second, small-N in-depth studies of the interventions in Chad, Georgia, Somalia and Rwanda, as selected on the basis of quantitative analysis, help find additional aspects salient to third party successes. |
