Do transnational ethnic linkages between third party states and disputants affect the probability of intervention? If so, how does regime type, power distribution of groups, and borders affect this decision? Do these interventions help to end interstate conflicts? Transnational ethnic linkages are an under-appreciated aspect of a state’s decision to enter international conflicts. While there is extensive research on interventions in conflicts and the role of ethnicity in civil war origination, the role of ethnic ties between potential interveners and interstate disputants remains unaccounted for (e.g. Reid 2015; Stojek and Chacha 2015; Findley and Marineau 2014; Huibregtse 2010; Saideman 2002). This is problematic when we consider the role of ethnicity in generating bias. Extant literature shows that when an intervening party has a bias toward a disputant, the intervention is typically more effective, but ethnic biases are not considered in extant literature (Block and Siegel 2011; Kydd 2006; Crescenzi, Kadera, Mitchell et al. 2011; Favretto 2009; Saideman 2001). In this dissertation, I theoretically separate conflict management from conflict intervention. This distinction is important because conflict intervention does not the need the consent of disputants and these interventions are by nature, biased. I utilize a unique triadic, multilevel dataset and a selection model to test my hypotheses. The results demonstrate that transnational ethnic linkages are an important aspect of a third party state’s decision to intervene in an interstate conflict. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Political Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester 2019. / February 6, 2019. / Conflict Intervention, Conflict Management, Ethnic Identity, International Conflict / Includes bibliographical references. / Mark Souva, Professor Directing Dissertation; Jonathan A.
