Abstract:

Concern for the consequences of nations external actions is an intrinsic feature of making, observing and analyzing foreign and military policies. To date, however, very little data based research has been specifically devoted to the task of systematically evaluating such actions. This memorandum examines data for four cases of military intervention by means of the multiple time series design of quasi-experimental analysis in an effort to assess the short term consequences of those actions for the target countries involved.
