Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The decade of the 1970s, despite representing the era of detente, superficially appeared to be one of Soviet successes and American setbacks. From Vietnam to Angola, the USSR seemed to be gaining Marxist friends in the Third World. Because of this, the Soviet Union wanted the United States to recognize it as an equal power in the world. With such acknowledgement, the Kremlin believed that negotiations to limit the arms race would then be mutually beneficial. On the other hand, President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger interpreted detente as a series of agreements and compromises to draw Moscow into an international system through which the United States could exercise some control over Soviet foreign relations, particularly with the Third World.

UN Special Envoy to Iraq takes stock on his term of office Near the end of his mission in Iraq, UN Special Envoy Martin Kobler voiced worry over rising levels of violence and worsening sectarianism, press reports said. The Sunni-Shiite conflict was „paralyzing the whole country“, he stated. However, he also noted some signs of progress, such as the improving ties with Kuwait, to which Iraq is still paying reparations, and elections that have largely been deemed free and fair.

  • State Support for Rebels and Interstate Bargaining
    State Support for Rebels and Interstate Bargaining Xiaoyan Qiu∗ April 18, 2021 Abstract Since the end of World War II, leaders have frequently supported rebel groups in other countries as a coercive strategy in international disputes. However, the strategic rationale by which rebel groups gain international support is non-obvious. Many recip- ient groups are too weak to viably win and are hostile to the sponsoring state’s goals. Using a formal model, I explain that the fundamental objective of transnational rebel support is to gain bargaining leverage against a rival state by depleting its resources to counter internal and external challenges. This subversive effect provides a sufficient incentive for sponsoring the rebels even when favorable conditions suggested by pre- vious studies are absent. Sponsoring rebels is attractive even if conventional warfare is not comparatively costly and even if rebel and sponsor preferences diverge. More- over, given the goal of destabilizing rival regimes, potential sponsors prefer to support weaker rebel groups and provide more support to them. Word Count: 9,870 ∗Department of Political Science, University of Rochester, [email protected]. Since the end of World War II, leaders have frequently used support for rebel groups as a coer- cive strategy in international disputes. For example, Muammar Gaddafi funded, armed, and trained the rebel group National Liberation Front of Chad and used it as a pawn in the Libya-Chad dispute over the Aouzou Strip in the early 1970s. Ethiopia has backed several Somali factions since 1996 to gain leverage in its dispute with Somalia over Ogaden. Iran is a longtime sponsor of Kurdish rebellions against its rival Iraq.
