Abstract
This paper contains following book review: Zorri Diane Maye et al. Iranian Proxy Groups in Iraq Syria and Yemen : A Principal-Agent Comparative Analysis. JSOU University Press 2020. Understanding how and why Iran uses proxy forces throughout the Middle East is vitally important for policymakers, military strategists, and operators. The lessons in this volume are not isolated to U.S. approaches toward Iranian use of proxies but have broader implications in great power competition. Russia and China have their own versions of proxies that also seek to compete with the U.S. short of armed conflict. Zorri, Sadri, and Ellis have provided the special operations community with a roadmap to responding to such activities when so many are struggling to find a solution.
期刊介绍:
Czech Journal of Political Science (Politologický časopis) is a peer reviewed journal published by the International Institute of Political Science in Brno.

Each year there are three issues which come out in February, June and October. The journal provides a representative platform for presentation of the outcomes of the original political science research and thus significantly contributes to the constitution of political science as a scholarly discipline and to its establishment among other social sciences. The journal features studies, articles, review essays, discussions, reviews and information on the events in the political science community. The texts may be submitted in English language. The topics cover the areas of political philosophy and theory, comparative political science, political sociology, policy analysis, European studies, international relations and security studies.
