This monograph examines the challenges posed by transnational insurgencies, where militant groups utilize sanctuaries in neighboring countries, complicating traditional counterinsurgency operations. It analyzes cases such as the relations between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as India and its eastern neighbors, to derive lessons applicable to contemporary issues in Iraq and Afghanistan. The study emphasizes the potential of cross-border insurgencies to escalate into interstate conflicts and highlights the importance of regional cooperation in managing these threats.
