Seminar
Intervention and Secrecy in International Politics
Open to the Public
Why do leaders rely on covert action to overthrow or prop up foreign regimes in some cases but not in others? This seminar proposes a theory that explains how leaders' attitudes toward risk determine whether they will undertake regime change or rescue in public or in secret. Evidence is drawn from four prominent cases of U.S. intervention during the Cold War.
