While some countries have engaged in\u003cbr\u003ecooperative strategies to contain transnational violence,\u003cbr\u003emany neighbors have been drawn into prolonged\u003cbr\u003econflict over the issue of foreign sanctuaries.\u003cbr\u003eIn this monograph, Dr. Idean Salehyan examines\u003cbr\u003eseveral recent transnational insurgencies and their\u003cbr\u003eimplications for regional relations. While the majority\u003cbr\u003eof cases resulted in an escalation of conflict between\u003cbr\u003eneighbors, in some instances countries have been\u003cbr\u003eable to construct successful border security regimes.\u003cbr\u003eThis monograph discusses these patterns of conflict\u003cbr\u003eand cooperation. Additionally, detailed analyses of\u003cbr\u003ethe relations between Rwanda and the Democratic\u003cbr\u003eRepublic of the Congo, as well as India and its\u003cbr\u003eneighbors, are offered to shed light on positive and\u003cbr\u003enegative dynamics.\u003cbr\u003eImportantly, Dr. Salehyan uses past cases of\u003cbr\u003econflict and cooperation over transnational militancy\u003cbr\u003eto underscore the current issues facing Iraq and\u003cbr\u003eAfghanistan. Looking ahead to the eventual reduction\u003cbr\u003eof foreign troops in these countries, this monograph\u003cbr\u003eassesses prospects for regional stability and offers\u003cbr\u003econcrete policy advice for decisionmakers.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084304990448,"sku":"2940148580577","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148580577_p0.jpg?v=1763704507","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148580577","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
