The book assumes a state-centric view of international relations, whereby states remain the dominant actors on the world stage. It breaks away from the conventional wisdom that military interventions for economic interests are a product of domestic corporate lobbying and instead argues that states intervene to protect (but not advance) existing corporate investments for national strategic interests. The work introduces new concepts of military interventions - proxy interventions and indirect interventions - which are determined by arms trade relationships between the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and recipient countries, and utilizes insights from principal-agent theory, whereby the permanent members of the UNSC delegate military interventions in civil wars to other countries. The book concludes by examining the transformative effect of FDI on the willingness of a state to intervene militarily in a civil war, focusing on the case of China in Sub-Saharan Africa. Provided that the current positive trends in FDI and arms trade persist, we are likely to see more and not fewer military interventions in the future. This book will be of much interest to students of civil wars, military interventions, security studies and International Relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Civil war $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Investments, Foreign $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Arms transfers. 650 0 $a Intervention (International law) 650 7 $a Arms transfers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814943 650 7 $a Civil war $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862884 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 650 7 $a Intervention (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977583 650 7 $a Investments, Foreign $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978395 651 0 $a China $x Foreign economic relations $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 651 0 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan $x Foreign economic relations $z China. 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a Sub-Saharan Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 776 08 $i Online version: $a Klosek, Kamil Christoph, 1990- $t Military interventions in civil wars $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003162087 $w (DLC) 2021017095 830 0 $a Routledge studies in conflict, security and development. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021011307.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B9A07BEDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
