| Summary |
Glenn H. Snyder creates a theory of alliances by deductive reasoning about the international system, by integrating ideas from neorealism, coalition formation, bargaining, and game theory, and by empirical generalization from international history. Using cases from 1879 to 1914 to illustrate a theory of alliance formation and management in a multipolar international system, he focuses on Austria-Germany, Austria-Germany-Russia, and France-Russia, and examines twenty-two episodes of intra-alliance bargaining. Snyder develops the concept of the alliance security dilemma as a vehicle for examining influence relations between allies. He draws parallels between alliance and adversary bargaining and shows how the two intersect. He assesses the role of alliance norms and the interplay of concerts and alliances. In an important theoretical advance, Snyder shows how alliances and alignments mediate between the structure of the international system and the behavior of states |
