Concern about the potential for military interventions by U.S. adversaries to affect U.S. interests has risen over the past decade, driven by high-profile interventions, such as the Russian missions in Ukraine and Syria, Iranian activity in Iraq and Syria, and expanding Chinese military activity in Africa. Despite these concerns, relatively little is known about the intervention behavior of these countries. There are many reasons for U.S. policymakers to be concerned about the interventions of adversaries. First, adversary interventions might pursue outcomes that undermine U.S. interests. Second, adversary interventions might affect the activities and objectives of U.S. forces when they intervene in the same places. Finally, adversary interventions may directly threaten U.S. forces or U.S. allies. In this report, the authors explore where, how, and how often U.S. adversaries (specifically, Russia, China, and Iran) have intervened militarily since 1946 and identify why these adversaries have initiated military interventions and why they might do so in the future. Three companion reports consider Chinese, Russian, and Iranian military intervention behavior. The insights and signposts identified can inform U.S. decisions about military posture, partnerships, and investments.

Humanitarian Military Intervention: The Conditions for Success and Failure is a thoughtful study of the conditions that determine if and how military intervention is a justified policy response to a humanitarian crisis in a foreign state. The book draws valuable lessons from case studies of operations in six countries that took place during the 1990s about how the prospects of success in a humanitarian military intervention can be evaluated-and how they can be improved. It also presents an original and comprehensive framework for defining and measuring success of past and future interventions, which centers on estimating the number of lives saved. Humanitarian Military Intervention: The Conditions for Success and Failure is aimed not only at researchers on peace and conflict but also at policymakers, practitioners and anyone else struggling with the imperative-and the many dilemmas-of saving human lives from armed violence.
