      abstract = {Contemporary research attempts to uncover what drives  civilian casualties and conflict duration in civil wars.  This thesis employs the controlled direct effect (CDE)  method to detect whether sanctions placed on states  providing support to foreign rebel groups have potential to  reduce civilian deaths and reduce conflict duration using a  cross-national quantitative analysis. The findings suggest  that while sanctions might be effective in reducing the  duration of the conflict, the resulting cessation of  support does not generate higher civilian casualties. The  findings are then subject to a qualitative evaluation based  on Russian support for separatist rebels in Georgia and  Ukraine, also upholding only some arguments of the paper.},
