| 520 | _aHow and in what circumstances can a state benefit from supporting an insurgent group? Most conflicts are now insurgencies and most insurgent groups are state sponsored. This article considers the pros and cons of such support, describes cases of South Africa's support for RENAMO and Iran's support for Hezbollah, and then considers al Qaeda as a quasi-state sponsor of insurgency. Concludes with a discussion of the implications for events in Syria and Central Africa. | ||
