Proxy Warfare in Strategic Competition: Military Implications

by Nathan Chandler, Bryan Frederick, Stephen Watts

The authors examine the military implications of intrastate proxy wars: civil wars in which at least one local warring party receives material support from an external state. The research was conducted using a review of existing literature and case studies of four particularly relevant instances of proxy warfare, including the First and Second Indochina Wars, the 2014-early 2022 Donbas War, and the Houthi Rebellion.
