1/🧵Excited to share our latest article in JCR: “Crises and Negotiations in Mutual Interventions.” @hetamm and I explore why rival states, supporting rebels in each other’s conflicts, decide to negotiate. Spoiler: international crises play a key role 🌍🤝 https://t.co/BsIX460hpv

3/ Using new monthly data on mutual interventions in Africa (1960–2010), we find crises significantly increase the likelihood of negotiations. Why? Costs rise, and mediators intensify pressure. Crises increase urgency. One example is the Shaba I crisis between Zaire and Angola:
