How do alliances, in the aggregate, "behave"? What explains the
actions and performance of alliances? Within alliances, how do
members' actions and performance vary, and what explains that
variance? This book addresses these questions with respect to one
of the world's principal alliances of the late twentieth century,
the Warsaw Treaty Organization (WTO), also known as the Warsaw
Pact. The author argues that though we understand a great deal
about the military hardware of the Warsaw Pact, little is known
about its reliability, cohesiveness, and the distribution of
military burden within it--all key variables, he argues, in
influencing change in alliance behavior. In each chapter he offers
a new way to measure one of these variables and suggests possible
explanations for variance. In addition, he examines the effect
East-West relations have on cohesion and how Warsaw Pact allies
have distributed the defense effort in the past. A concluding
chapter is devoted to an empirical assessment of Warsaw Pact
alliance behavior, combining indicators of cohesion, reliability,
and burden-sharing in a general portrait of the WTO as a collective
actor in international politics.
