Charge of the knights: the British in Basra, 2008 / Iron, Richard   Journal Article
Iron, Richard Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract By 2008, the initially promising security situation in Basra had deteriorated to the extent that the British Army had withdrawn to the airport, kilometres from the city. Domestic pressure was also hastening the UK's handover to local security forces. The British became onlookers in Basra's insurgency; Operation Charge of the Knights was the result. In this article, Richard Iron identifies the lessons of the British campaign in Basra and the strategic nature of the mistaken conduct of the counter-insurgency campaign.

Domestic unrest and the initiation of negotiations / Ghosn, Faten   Journal Article
Ghosn, Faten Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The main argument of this article is that we need to incorporate domestic-pressure arguments into conflict management studies and, at the same time, we need to include conflict-management opportunities in the study of domestic-international theory. This study looks at the impact of domestic incentives on a state's decision to negotiate. The primary hypothesis is that domestic turmoil will increase the likelihood that rival states with a history of aggressive interaction shift their foreign policy to a more accommodative one. Testing my argument on strategic rivals between 1945 and 1995, I find that after controlling for the factors of history and level of hostility between the rivals, anti-government unrest actually increases the likelihood of negotiations taking place, while acts threatening the downfall of the regime tend to decrease the chance of witnessing negotiations.
