Yet there are significant risks to working with irregular forces-from the risk of enabling predatory militias, human rights abuses and war crimes, to contributing to fragmentation and political instability, to the risk of seeding local conflict or future security threats. Could those consequences be prevented ormitigated? If so, would states be more comfortable engaging with irregular armed groups? This book explores these questions by examining nine . partnerships across Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria from 2006 to the present. It draws from hundreds of interviews with a range of policy actors and detailed interrogation of crucial policy decision-making moments surrounding . intervention.
