Karen A. Feste examines the history of superpower intervention in domestic conflicts around the world during the Cold War era. The historical significance of the role that superpower intervention has played in shaping issues and strategies for many independent nations is thoroughly explored by Feste. Her unique analysis goes beyond a reexamination of dramatic instances of American and Soviet intervention to present a combination of aggregate event data methodology and historical case studies; general patterns in the nature of superpower intervention throughout four decades are highlighted; and U.S.-Soviet behavior is carefully and consistently compared across the entire period of the Cold War.
This work will be of great interest to scholars and historians in political science, international relations, military studies, and geopolitics.
KAREN A. FESTE is Professor at the Graduate School of International Studies and Director of the Interdisciplinary Conflict Resolution Program at the University of Denver. She has served as a Fulbright Professor at the University of Vienna and the Diplomatic Academy of Austria and is the author of Plans for Peace: Negotiation and the Arab-Israeli Conflict (Greenwood, 1991).
