Summary:
"In this first longitudinal and latitudinal study of all U.S. foreign COIN interventions using combat formations, Dallas Shaw examines the variables involved in increasing state longevity after withdrawal or SLAW. This book proposes a theory of State Centric COIN, such that, state longevity increases after U.S. withdrawal when the U.S. employs institution inhabiting strategies to develop host-nation governance and security in the course of COIN interventions."--Provided by publisher.
