Regional rivalries and the financing of insurgencies
Fawaz, Mahdi
Regional rivalries and the financing of insurgencies - 2021.
7
Direct interstate wars have become particularly constraining, and the strategy of funding rebel groups located in rival countries has many advantages. By exploiting the resources at their disposal, rentier states can finance insurgency activities in rival countries. This paper empirically demonstrates that for a given country, the natural resource rents available to its rivals have a systematic effect on its likelihood of experiencing civil war. This result is stable when we control only for rents from oil exports.
