Abstract:

This is the final report of six years of research on international politics conducted by the Yale World Data Analysis Program. Quantitative basic research and policy-oriented studies were undertaken on patterns of linkage and conflict in the international system and in regional subsystems. Attention focused on developing and testing theories of international relations, especially alliance formation and national security policies. Special attention was given to theories derived from economics, to computer simulation, and to the development and analysis of large-scale files of cross-national aggregate data and event data on nations behavior. Particular studies of African international politics and of Australian linkages with the United States, Britain, and Japan were conducted.
