Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Afghanistan has been at war with the West since the late 1900’s, remaining in a state of constant turmoil.

Strong states should accordingly face fewer constraints and enjoy more options while pursuing their national interests. Unconventional warfare, and its subsets of terrorism and insurgency, should—given these circumstances, end in VNA failure. Sometimes, however, VNAs find success. By comparing the literature on historical and current case studies, I propose that a set of preconditions and two mechanisms …
