Kadera, Kelly Michele 2011-05-07T12:22:09Z 2011-05-07T12:22:09Z 10000-01-01 1995 This dissertation studies the dynamic relationship between two competing nations' power levels and their conflictual behavior toward one another. A formal model is developed by drawing on the balance of power and power transition literatures. The model, a system of differential equations, is then analyzed in order to answer several substantive questions generated from the balance of power-power transition debate. For example, under what conditions do power transitions occur, i.e., why do some rivalries experience transitions while others do not? What are the behavioral consequences of power transitions, or what level of conflict should we expect from a rivalry in transition? Which rival nation, the weaker or the stronger, is most conflictual? Last, an empirical test of the model is offered, using the Correlates of War data on power levels for major nations and Militarized Interstate Dispute data on dyadic conflict behavior.
