Proxy Wars and the Role of Intelligence Services in the Current Middle-East
Journal Title: Vojenske rozhledy - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper deals with the concept of proxy wars in the region of the Middle-East and the role of intelligence services in it. In the current conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, many external actors and powers interfere using (not only) their intelligence services for the defence of their national interests in afflicted states, often even combating each other on a territory of a different state. The main goal of the paper is to introduce the concept of proxy war and analyse the role of intelligence services in the ongoing conflicts in the defined area.
