Alliances • States commit to security cooperation • Types of alliances • Alliances are commitments by states to cooperate on security policy.
Alliances
Alliances are costly • Commitment of blood and treasure to defend another • - Must be upheld to be credible, even if defeat is likely • - Alliances limit freedom, as consultation with allies is necessary before taking action or making decisions • - An emboldened ally may entrap protector in conflict; for example, some fear that an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would drag the United States into a regional war and potential nuclear conflict
Alliances Why form alliances? • Weak state may gain protection from powerful rivals • - Strong state may signal its resolve to defend weak state • - Combining resources may economize, allowing greater defense • - Can temper conflicts (for example, Greece and Turkey in NATO) • - Can formalize a sphere of influence (for example, the Warsaw Pact)
Alliances and the balance of power • Balancing results in roughly equal blocs • - Small states seek to avoid domination by alliance leader • - Alliance with strong state threatens state freedom • Balancing does not explain alliance formation • Other explanations of alliance formation • - Bandwagoning: when states join winning side (for example, Italy in World War II) • - Affinity: shared culture, ideology, or religion • Powerful states do not always generate opposing alliances.
Alliances Figure 5. 1: An Alignment of Interests
Alliances • • European alliances Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Germany emerged as a single power. Early twentieth-century states formed contending alliances in response to this rising German power. • • • The alliance pattern contributed to the outbreak of World War I: Small conflicts escalated. Alliances created incentives for preventive war. Major powers became dependent on allies. The larger number of states increased chances of miscalculation. • The interwar period posed similar problems.
Alliances in the 1920 s and 30 s did not prevent World War II. • Britain did not support France when Germany challenged the harsh peace of the Treaty of Versailles. • French alliances with Eastern Europe lacked credibility. • Britain, France, and the Soviet Union did not form an alliance against Germany. • Bandwagoning and ideological differences • - The Soviet/German Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 divided Poland between the two countries • - Soviets jumped on the German bandwagon

Collective Security • Institutions such as NATO can be a source of peace through credible deterrence. • The UN is most successful when strong states agree, and when at least one strong state takes an interest in the conflict and is willing to pay costs.
