Background
Overview
Understanding proxy warfare is essential for analyzing contemporary international security challenges, regional conflicts, the role of non-state actors, and the evolving nature of warfare.
Proxy warfare is a conflict where two opposing powers indirectly engage each other by supporting third parties, such as non-state armed groups or other states, rather than fighting directly. This strategy allows states to advance their interests without incurring the full costs or risks of direct military confrontation.
