| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Civil wars are,by their very nature, often characterised by the participation of non-state actors.Because civil wars often occur in situations where the state's authority is weak or non-existent, external actors of all types can play both indirect and direct roles.This special issue seeks to examine these two types of actors combined: What happens when non-state actors external to conflicts paricipate in civil wars?Have new actors of this type appeared on the internationl stage? |
