What impact does economic globalization have on third-party intervention in armed conflict? Paying attention to foreign direct investments (FDI) in conflict areas, I consider how economic ties to the international system could be predictors of third-party diplomatic intervention in civil conflicts. It is my argument that hosting higher levels of FDI increases the potential damage that a conflict could have on foreign economic interests. For this reason, there is an economic incentive to intervene. Intervention here will be in an attempt to end or de-escalate the conflict. I contend that this economic incentive would spur third-parties towards active diplomatic intervention such as peace conferences and mediation. Using quantitative analysis, I test these arguments. I compare this with military intervention, and I extend the argument to interstate disputes. I also examine the argument with data on US intervention and US investments. The results of the analysis support the argument; however, in the case of international conflicts, I find that FDI is positively associated with both military and diplomatic intervention. Finally, to probe the causal mechanisms, I examine the third-party interveners in the case of the Nigerian civil war (1967-1970).
