Résumé

A pervasive 'folk' notion holds that quagmire is intrinsic to certain countries or civil wars. Schulhofer-Wohl shows that this view is a fundamental misdiagnosis of the problem. He marshalls extensive, diverse evidence to show that interlocked domestic-international strategic interactions in civil war systematically produce quagmire.
