Clayton L. Thyne

How International Relations Affect Civil Conflict

Cheap Signals, Costly Consequences

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book draws on bargaining theory, signaling theory, and rational expectations to better understand how 'signals' sent from external actors affect civil wars. Clayton L. Thyne combines quantitative analyses of over 150 civil wars with in-depth case studies to show how seemingly innocuous 'cheap' signals have an enormous impact on a state's stability, the duration of fighting once a war begins, and the ultimate victor of the conflict.
