Descriere completă

This study attempts to challenge both conventional and unconventional wisdom about insurgencies and political development. The author concludes that in all three components of US strategy for counter-insurgency - political, economic and military - faulty notions of causation inform policy. US advice to embattled governments fails to recognize the inherent clash of development goals, and the focus of US military assistance on fighting insurgents plays to their strengths and fails to exploit their weaknesses. The volume reviews the contrasting theory and practice in the Soviet and American approaches to their competition in the Third World and relates them to indigenous causes of internal wars. It also integrates the military dimensions of insurgencies with external influences and internal politics. Drawing on political development theory, it underscores the sources of instability in Third World states that make insurgencies more likely and offers ways to assess the prospects for democracy in specific cases. The centerpiece of the study is a practical application of the author's analyses to three case studies - El Salvador, Guatemala and the Philippines - and a regional assessment of the Middle East.
