The core question addressed in this book is: Why did the Soviet Union support the Movement for the Promotion of International Peace (MPNP) for so long and achieve success? The book examines the party-to-party and state-to-state relations between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of Angola, proposing the concepts of "quasi-alliance" and "smart intervention" within the framework of realism and neorealism. These concepts are used to explain what characteristics of actors the Soviet Union formed with during the Angolan Civil War, thereby enabling it to "smartly intervene" in the country and obtain the structural and institutional benefits it desired, ultimately achieving its goal of safeguarding its own security and interests. The book argues that the fundamental motivation for the Soviet Union to establish a "quasi-alliance" with the MPNP was the degree of pressure from the international system, influenced by factors including ideological factors, "key intermediaries," international audience costs, and sunk costs.
本书关注的核心问题是：为什么苏联长期支持安人运并取得成功？本书对苏联与安哥拉人民共和国的党际与国家间关系进行梳理，在现实主义和新现实主义理论框架内提出“类联盟”和“巧干涉”概念，用以解释在安哥拉内战中，苏联与具有何种特质的行为体结成“类联盟”，从而对该国进行“巧干涉”，进而获得苏联期望的结构性利益与制度性利益，实现维护苏联自身安全与利益的目的。本书认为，苏联与安人运建立“类联盟”的根本动因是国际系统结构压力程度，影响因素包括意识形态因素、“关键中介因素”、国际观众成本和沉没成本因素。
