To what extent to international factors affect domestic conflict processes? How do external conditions affect the state’s repressive capabilities and the opportunities for opposition groups to mobilize, launch, and sustain an insurgency? This paper argues that state strength is limited by international boundaries and that transnationally organized rebel groups can evade repression costs. External bases, refugee communities, and characteristics of neighboring states are expected to increase the likelihood of civil war onset and continuation.

Abstract. To what extent to international factors affect domestic conflict processes? How do
external conditions affect the state’s repressive capabilities and the opportunities for opposition
groups to mobilize, launch, and sustain an insurgency? This paper argues that state strength is
limited by international boundaries and that transnationally organized rebel groups can evade
repression costs. External bases, refugee communities, and characteristics of neighboring states
are expected to increase the likelihood of civil war onset and continuation. These claims are
tested through a quantitative analysis of civil conflicts during the 1951-2000 period.
