520    This study examines the counterinsurgency strategies and 
       practices adopted by threatened regimes and the conditions
       under which U.S. "small-footprint" partnerships are likely
       to help these governments succeed. The report's findings 
       are derived from a mixed-method research design 
       incorporating both quantitative and qualitative analysis. 
       Simple statistical analyses are applied to a dataset of 
       counterinsurgencies that have terminated since the end of 
       the Cold War (72 in all), and more in-depth analyses are 
       provided of two recent cases of U.S. partnerships with 
       counterinsurgent regimes, in the Philippines and Pakistan.
       The quantitative analysis finds that the cases of small-
       footprint U.S. operations that are commonly touted as 
       "success stories" all occurred in countries approximating 
       a best-case scenario. Such a verdict is not meant to deny 
       the importance of U.S. assistance; rather, it is meant to 
       highlight that similar U.S. policies with less promising 
       partner nations should not be expected to produce anywhere
       near the same levels of success. The majority of 
       insurgencies have taken place in worst-case conditions, 
       and in these environments, counterinsurgent regimes are 
       typically unsuccessful in their efforts to end rebellion, 
       and they often employ violence indiscriminately. The case 
       studies of the Philippines and Pakistan largely reinforce 
       the findings of the quantitative analysis. They also 
       highlight the challenges the United States faces in 
       attempting to influence partner regimes to fight 
       counterinsurgencies in the manner that the United States 
       would prefer. The study concludes with policy 
       recommendations for managing troubled partnerships.
