Informationen zum Autor Andrew Mumford is Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham Klappentext An analysis of the dynamics of proxy warfare from the Cold War through to the War on Terror, this book investigates issues relating to the rise of China, as well as the Arab Spring. " Proxy Warfare offers a compelling survey of likely explanations for why states and non-state actors use other parties to influence the course and outcomes of civil and international disputes. By separating the concept of proxy warfare from traditional understandings of third-party intervention in conflict, Mumford makes an important contribution to our understanding of war and international relations." James J. Wirtz, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School "An original and important contribution to our understanding of contemporary conflict and the shape of future wars." Caroline Kennedy, University of Hull "This crucial book brings much-needed conceptual clarification, historical depth and empirically-grounded analysis to the phenomenon of proxy warfare, which will undoubtedly become an increasingly employed, yet potentially pernicious, tool of indirect intervention in local conflicts around the globe." Sergio Catignani, Strategy & Security Institute, Exeter University Zusammenfassung Proxy wars represent a perennial strand in the history of conflict. The appeal of warfare on the cheap has proved an irresistible strategic allure for nations through the centuries. However! proxy wars remain a missing link in contemporary war and security studies.
