In Episode 43 of the Irregular Warfare Podcast, we discuss success in counterinsurgency warfare-more broadly, whether great powers can suppress destabilizing insurgencies and reform corrupt or repressive governments into legitimate ones.
Our guests start the conversation by considering the role that military interventions and counterinsurgency have played in recent history, and their relevance for the future of national security. They then discuss two competing models of counterinsurgency. The first is the good governance model, or winning hearts and minds, which has dominated both scholarship and COIN practice over recent decades. The second, the compellence model, is one that-as one of our guests argues-better explains COIN success. They conclude with a discussion on both the opportunities and the limits of US power in potential future interventions.
