They are more likely to attempt to covertly change the opposing regime, by assassinating a foreign leader, sponsoring a coup d'état, meddling in a democratic election, or secretly aiding foreign dissident groups.In Covert Regime Change, Lindsey A. O'Rourke shows us how states really act when trying to overthrow another state. She argues that conventional focus on overt cases misses the basic causes of regime change. O'Rourke provides substantive evidence of types of security interests that drive states to intervene. Offensive operations aim to overthrow a current military rival or break up a rival alliance. Preventive operations seek to stop a state from taking certain actions, such as joining a rival alliance, that may make them a future security threat. Hegemonic operations try to maintain a hierarchical relationship between the intervening state and the target government. Despite the prevalence of covert attempts at regime change, most operations fail to remain covert and spark blowback in unanticipated ways.Covert Regime Change assembles an original dataset of all American regime change operations during the Cold War. This fund of information shows the United States was ten times more likely to try covert rather than overt regime change during the Cold War. Her dataset allows O'Rourke to address three foundational questions: What motivates states to attempt foreign regime change? Why do states prefer to conduct these operations covertly rather than overtly? How successful are such missions in achieving their foreign policy goals?Cornell studies in security affairs.Regime changeHistory20th centuryRegime changeCase studiesCold WarUnited StatesForeign relations1945-1989Electronic books.Regime changeHistoryRegime changeCold War.327.1273009/045O'Rourke Lindsey A.1048701MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466627303321Covert regime change2477152UNINA05089nam 22006494a 450 991045023330332120200520144314.01-280-46434-897866104643401-4175-9086-690-474-0048-810.1163/9789047400486(CKB)1000000000032896(EBL)253496(OCoLC)191953240(SSID)ssj0000252978(PQKBManifestationID)11206970(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000252978(PQKBWorkID)10199301(PQKB)10043521(MiAaPQ)EBC253496(OCoLC)191953240(OCoLC)60377738(OCoLC)191039244(OCoLC)474890188(OCoLC)488798370(OCoLC)606552161(OCoLC)611900714(OCoLC)614806476(OCoLC)646738486(OCoLC)666957632(OCoLC)722397775(OCoLC)870355298(OCoLC)961562915(OCoLC)962595395(OCoLC)966205422(OCoLC)974152177(OCoLC)982310142(OCoLC)988434911(OCoLC)991958057(nllekb)BRILL9789047400486(Au-PeEL)EBL253496(CaPaEBR)ebr10090608(CaONFJC)MIL46434(EXLCZ)99100000000003289620000510d2001 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrStudies in the linguistic structure of classical Arabic[electronic resource] /by Naphtali Kinberg ; edited by Leah Kinberg and Kees VersteeghLeiden ;Boston Brill20011 online resource (289 p.)Studies in Semitic languages and linguistics,0081-8461 ;31Description based upon print version of record.90-04-11765-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preliminary Material /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- PREFACE /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COMBINATION 'N LAW IN CLASSICAL ARABIC /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- NOTES ON THE SHIFT FROM ACCUSATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS TO PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES IN HEBREW AND ARABIC /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- A STUDY OF LA-'IN CLAUSES IN EARLY LITERARY ARABIC /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- ADVERBIAL CLAUSES AS TOPICS IN ARABIC: ADVERBIAL CLAUSES IN FRONTAL POSITION SEPARATED FROM THEIR MAIN CLAUSES /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- CAUSAL AND ADVERSATIVE MEANINGS OF THE PARTICLE LĀKIN IN ARABIC /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- SOME TEMPORAL, ASPECTUAL, AND MODAL FEATURES OF THE ARABIC STRUCTURE LA-QAD + PREFIX TENSE VERB /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- SOME MODAL, ASPECTUAL AND SYNTACTIC CONSTRAINTS ON THE USE OF QAD IN THE VERBAL SYSTEM OF CLASSICAL ARABIC /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- FIGURATIVE USES, POLYSEMY AND HOMONYMY IN SYSTEMS OF TENSE, MOOD AND ASPECT /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- SEMI-IMPERFECTIVES AND IMPERFECTIVES: A CASE STUDY OF ASPECT AND TENSE IN ARABIC PARTICIPIAL CLAUSES /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- THE CONCEPTS OF ELEVATION AND DEPRESSION IN MEDIEVAL ARABIC PHONETIC THEORY /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- TREATISE ON THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE ḌĀD /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- INDEX /NAPHTALI KINBERG -- STUDIES IN SEMITIC LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS /NAPHTALI KINBERG.In 1997 Naphtali Kinberg died, one of the best specialists in Classical Arabic and the Arabic grammatical tradition. His main work, the index on Farrā’'s Ma‘ānī l-Qur’ān, which appeared in the Brill series Handbook of Oriental Studies (1996) will remain one of the most important reference tools for future research in this field. In this volume the editors have collected a number of articles in which Kinberg demonstrates his ability to combine modern linguistic insights with the theories of the Arab grammarians. The result is a series of detailed studies on such aspects of the structure of Arabic as conditional sentences, adverbial clauses, and the particles lākin and qad . These articles have been published before, sometimes in relatively inaccessible journals. They are now made available in a collective volume, and made accessible by an index that will facilitate using them in research on Arabic linguistics. This volume also contains an important study that was part of Kinberg's legacy, the edition and translation of a treatise on the pronunciation of the ḍād by the grammarian ‘Alī al-Mansūrī (12th/18th century). This treatise is an important document on a hitherto neglected aspect of Arabic phonetic studies. It discusses the phonetic status of the sound that was regarded by the Arabs themselves as the most characteristic sound of their language.Studies in Semitic languages and linguistics ;31.Arabic languageGrammarElectronic books.Arabic languageGrammar.492.7/5Kinberg Naphtali651445Kinberg Leah1948-919692Versteegh C.
