Notes

Abstract: Previous literature addressing the phenomenon of civil war recurrence has examined the domestic sources of recurring civil wars, but have not adequately assessed the impact of foreign sponsorship on civil war recurrence. The literature exploring foreign sponsorship of civil wars has examined the effect of foreign support on conflict termination, conflict intensity, and conflict outcome, but has not sufficiently explored the impact of foreign sponsorship on conflict recurrence. This project seeks to fill these gaps and argues that foreign support plays a key role in determining peace duration by increasing the capacity of potential combatants to engage in war. This project further contributes to the literature on foreign support by examining the influence of offensive, defensive, and ambiguous types of support. Using Cox proportional hazards models, this project finds that offensive types of support decrease the duration of peace (increase the probability of civil war recurrence), while defensive types of support increase the duration of peace (decrease the probability of civil war recurrence). This study provides strong evidence for the importance of distinguishing different categories of foreign support—distinct categories of support have fundamentally different effects on peace duration.
