Summary, etc. | Why do some states start diversionary conflicts? Using the example of the Falklands Conflict this article considers the question by looking at some of the policy options available to states facing internal unrest: diversionary conflict, reform or repression. Suggests that one the most important determinants of a course of action is the state's ability to generate resources to pay for the preferred course of action. A show of force where little or no opposition is expected is an attractive prospect for a state which cannot generate resources for alternative policy options even if they are preferred. As this article notes a number of other factors combined to convince Argentina that invading the Falklands was a low cost low risk option and thus the best course of action. |
