Foreign powers and intervention in armed conflicts

Aydin argues that rethinking intervention - redefining what it is and why foreign powers take an interest in others' conflicts - is of critical importance to understanding how conflicts evolve over time with the entry and exit of external actors. It does this by building a new model of intervention that crosses the traditional boundaries between economics, international relations theory, and security studies, and places the economic interests and domestic political institutions of external states at the centre of intervention decisions.
