Even as counterbalancing helps to prevent successful interventions, however, the resentment that it generates within the regular military can provoke new coup attempts. And because counterbalancing changes how soldiers and police perceive the costs and benefits of a successful overthrow, it can create incentives for protracted fighting that result in the escalation of a coup into full-blown civil war. Drawing on an original dataset of state security forces in 110 countries over a span of fifty years, as well as case studies of coup attempts in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, the book sheds light on how counterbalancing affects regime survival. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aCoups d'e?tat$xPrevention 606 $aCivil war$xPrevention 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aCivil-military relations 615 0$aCoups d'e?tat$xPrevention. 615 0$aCivil war$xPrevention. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aCivil-military relations. 676 $a327.112 686 $aMD 8600$2rvk 700 $aDe Bruin$b Erica$f1982-$01518882 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795650403321 996 $aHow to prevent coups d'e?tat$93756687 997 $aUNINA
