They are more likely to attempt to covertly change the opposing regime, by assassinating a foreign leader, sponsoring a coup d'tat, 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. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aRegime change$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1989 615 0$aRegime change$xHistory 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a327.1273009/045 700 $aO'Rourke$b Lindsey A.$01666750 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819770903321 996 $aCovert regime change$94026172 997 $aUNINA
