One example is the US: We repealed prohibition.
Another is Sierra Leone: The RUF seize the diamond mines and threaten the capital. The government attempts appeasement (granting legal ownership of the mines to the RUF, and making its leader the national VP), which failed, resulting in a Brit intervention to simply crush the criminals.

"The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self." Colonel Robert C. Jones, US Army Special Forces (Retired)
