Produktbeschreibung
This Handbook is the first volume to comprehensively examine the challenges, intricacies, and dynamics of proxy wars, in their various facets.

The volume aims to capture the significantly growing interest in the topic at a critical juncture when wars of many guises are becoming multifaceted proxy wars. Most often, proxy wars have wide-ranging implications for international security and are, therefore, a critically important subject of inquiry. The Handbook seeks to understand and explain proxy wars conceptually, theoretically, and empirically, with a focus on the numerous policy challenges and dilemmas they pose. To do so, it presents a multi- and interdisciplinary assessment of proxy wars focused on the causes, dynamics, and processes underpinning the phenomenon, across time and space and a multitude of actors throughout human history. The Handbook is divided into six thematic sections, as follows:

Part I: Approaches to the Study of Proxy Wars

Part II:Historical Perspectives on Proxy Wars

Part III: Actors in Proxy Wars

Part IV: Dynamics of Proxy Wars

Part V: Case Studies of Proxy Wars

Part VI: The Future of Proxy Wars

By bringing together many leading scholars in a synthesis of expertise, this Handbook provides a unique and rigorous account of research into proxy war, which so far has been largely missing from the debate.

This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, security studies, foreign policy, political violence, and International Relations.

Rezensionen
'The Routledge Handbook of Proxy Wars will be the go-to guide for understanding the many facets of proxy wars today and of those in the past. Assaf Moghadam, Vladimir Rauta, and Michel Wyss have brought together a wide range of established and emerging experts who assess the problem from multiple perspectives and offer numerous insights to one of today's most pressing challenges.'

'A definitive compendium of essays on proxy warfare from the historical, legal, political and theoretical perspectives, The Routledge Handbook of Proxy Wars will doubtless prove to be the seminal work in a field whose time has come. Together these articles build an indispensable foundation not only for understanding the many-faceted phenomenon of proxy warfare but for anticipating the future challenges it may pose.'

Karen Greenberg, Fordham University, USA

'Fighting the conflicts of others is a phenomenon that has accompanied humanity throughout the ages. This wonderful collection offers readers a comprehensive overview, as well as thought-provoking insights into the past, present and future of proxy wars. With their specific logics, relationships and processes, proxy wars, as the authors rightly argue, deserve to be considered as a mature field of academic investigation. This handbook provides a benchmark, and therefore deserves high praise.'

Isabelle Duyvesteyn, Professor of International Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands

'.. the Handbook provides a comprehensive toolbox for readers to make an informed judgement about whether the war in Ukraine (or any other conflict) is a proxy war and what that means.'

Giuseppe Spatafora, University of Oxford
