abstract="International attacks by rebel groups are an historically important phenomenon. Yet, few scholars have sought to understand why some rebel organizations &quot;go abroad&quot; and commence international attacks and some do not. We theorize that a rebel group's decision to attack internationally is partly the result of its home-state's counter-insurgency strategy. Home-states that employ broad-based repression discourage rebels from engaging in international attacks. By contrast, home-states that employ narrowly targeted repression accelerate rebel decisions to attack internationally. Finally, concessions by the home-state are a sufficient condition for the rebel groups in our data to never attack internationally.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
