The impact of the international environment on domestic political change is an important area of study both in international relations and comparative politics. Previously, various scholars have worked to conceptualize the linkages between international and domestic politics (Gourevitch 1978; Rosenau 1992; Zartman 1995). However, in the post-Cold War period, there is a renewed scholarly emphasis on theorizing about the interplay between the international environment and domestic political change. Equally important, since the end of the Cold War, the academic community has become more receptive to problems of ethnic conflict, civil wars, intercommunal violence, and state collapse; as a result, understanding state failure became an object of scientific inquiry. In International Change and the Stability of Multiethnic States: Yugoslavia, Lebanon and Crises of Governance, Badrefine Arfi studies the transformation of multiethnic states and their collapse. What is particularly refreshing is that Arfi develops a systematic analysis of the impact of international change on domestic politics. This is an important contribution to the international relations theory literature, specifically because linkages between the international environment and domestic politics are relatively understudied. Arfi aims to close that gap by developing a coherent theory explaining and predicting state collapse in multiethnic societies. Because the conditions under which multiethnic states collapse deserves our attention, the book is a timely addition, advancing our understanding how state governance is transformed in multiethnic states
