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.
