Fourth, the language and content of the agreements are very symmetrical and use phrases such as “contracting parties” and “signatories” instead of the right substantive. Although there are of course asymmetries in implementation (for example. B because of the relative power), these are separated from the treaties themselves and are better treated with control variables. Fifth, CAD is a 10-year long-term agreement. Many DCAs are indeterminate. 5. The payment of local personnel in accordance with the pay slips established by the U.S. armed forces, their salaries, their salaries and all other compensation to which they are entitled. The contents and form of the payslips will be subject to future consultations and agreements between the Spanish Ministry of Defence and the US armed forces. The Spanish Ministry of Defence informs the US forces of all deductions or deductions prescribed by Spanish law, which are reflected in the aforementioned payslips; The application for CAD depends on relative payments of cooperative and non-cooperative results. Footnote 29 states work together to achieve common profits – gains that cannot be achieved unilaterally. Footnote 30 If these benefits are not significant enough in relation to the risks, there is little incentive for states to cooperate. The exogenous changes in global security since the 1980s have increased the demand for global defence cooperation.
At the same time, demand varies according to the dyads. For some potential partners, the expected pay gap between cooperative and non-cooperative outcomes is significant, while for others it is small. Ceteris paribus, states prefer technologically advanced, prosperous, ideologically similar or other strategic defense partners. For example, Hungary continued defence cooperation with Germany mainly because unified Germany, through the former GDR, had large reserves of Cold War-era spare parts, valuable to the Hungarian army. Footnote 31 In short, common benefits affect both the decision to cooperate or not and the decision with whom they wish to cooperate. 1. In the event of an external threat or interference with a party acting in accordance with the objectives of Article 2, paragraph 2 of this agreement, the date and use of the ASD and authorizations covered in Chapters II and III of this agreement are the subject of urgent consultation between the two governments and are agreed upon. , without prejudice to the inherent right of direct and direct self-defence of one of the parties. Estimates for reciprocal degree and two paths are positive and extremely accurate and provide a first support for H1 and H2, the main network assumptions. Dyads who share DCA links with the same third k are more likely to sign DCAs themselves. As the centrality of i and J in the DCA network increases mutually, their likelihood of signing a DCA increases accordingly. The latter result suggests that cooperation most likely depends on military power and other covariates, provided that cooperation between mutually active countries where information is most important is the most important.
To evaluate H5`s macrohistorical argument on the emergence of network flows, I separately calculated the marginal impact of network variables for the 1980-1989 and 1990-2010 periods. As shown in the right-hand tables in Figure 8, the first evolution of CAD in the 1980s had virtually no influence on networks; The models assessed separately show that, during this period, military power and bilateral trade were in fact the main determinants of defence cooperation. These results are consistent with the structural argument that network influence has only become important when traditional geopolitical concerns have dissiped, new threats have emerged and many states have needed bilateral defence partners.
