Civil wars with foreign intervention tend to be longer, bloodier and more intractable than other conflicts. This special issue investigates the causes and consequences of foreign intervention in civil wars and conflicts, with topics like the US intervention policies of the Bush, Obama and Trump presidencies, alliance politics and hegemonic blackmail, imposed regime change, international justice and peacekeeping operations as well as peacebuilding in Haiti and multinational intervention in weak and fragile states, like Mali.
We’re fortunate enough to welcome four of our authors, emerging scholars on conflict intervention, to Carleton University on Wednesday, October 11 at 9 am to discuss their contributions:
- Emma Ashford, Research Fellow, Defense and Foreign Policy Studies, Cato Institute – “Hegemonic Blackmail: Entrapment in Civil War Intervention”
- Aaron Ettinger, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Waterloo – “Patterns and Implications of American Military Interventions in the post-September 11 Era”
- Joshua Libben, PhD Candidate, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa – “Am I My Brother’s Peacekeeper? Strategic Cultures and Change Among Major Troop Contributors to United Nations Peacekeeping”
- Gaëlle Rivard Piché, Strategic Analyst, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) – “Security Sector Reform in Haiti since 2004: Limits and Prospects”
We’ve also invited a ranking public servant working on Canadian foreign policy in this domain to give their perspective on the research we’ve compiled in the special issue before opening the discussion up to Q&A from the audience
