Dissertation Research: Third Party Interventions in Intrastate Disputes

这篇博士论文的研究评估了第三方干预州内争端的发生和时机。 具体来说，什么因素会影响第三方是否会介入州内争端？ 什么因素会影响第三方何时介入州内争端？ 本研究界定了第三方干预和州内争端，以便纳入广泛的干预和争端类型。 因此，这项研究是原创性的，因为它广泛地分析了第三方干预州内争端的现象，而不是只分析一种类型的干预（即军事干预）或一个错别字的国家内部争端（即种族争端）从国际关系领域的主要理论观点出发，提出了若干假说，以解释第三方的发生和时间干预措施。 第三方干预的历史记录，在第二次世界大战后时期的国家内部争端的假设进行测试。 该项目的主要目标是评估一组假设，这些假设将各种因素与第三方干预的发生和时间联系起来。 在这样做的过程中，本研究提供了一个更好的理解，为什么，什么时候，以及如何第三方干预发生在国内群体之间的纠纷在一个国家的边界。 该项目的第二个目标是收集和传播有关第二次世界大战后第三方干预国家内部争端的新数据来源。 在此期间，没有包含第三方干预州内争端的广泛数据集。

This Doctoral Dissertation research evaluates the occurrence and timing of third party interventions in intrastate disputes. Specifically, what factors influence whether or not a third party will intervene in an intrastate dispute? What factors influence when a third party will intervene in an intrastate dispute? Third party interventions and intrastate disputes are defined in this study so as to incorporate a wide range of intervention and dispute types. As a result, this study is original in that it broadly analyzes the phenomena of third party interventions in intrastate disputes, as opposed to analyzing just one type of intervention (i.e. military intervention) or one typo of intrastate dispute (i.e. ethnic disputes) Several hypotheses are derived from major theoretical perspectives in the filed on international relations in order to explain the occurrence and timing of third party interventions. The hypotheses are tested against the historical record of third party interventions in intrastate disputes in the post World War II period. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate a set of hypotheses relating various factors to the occurrence and timing of third party interventions. In doing so, this study provides a better understanding of why, when, and how third parties intervene in disputes that occur between domestic groups within the borders of a state. A secondary objective of this project is the collection and dissemination of a new source of data pertaining to third party interventions in intrastate disputes in the post-World War II period. There are no existing sets of data containing a broad range of third party interventions in intrastate disputes for this period.
