Nations at risk: A prediction of nations likely to be in war in the years 1974–1978∗
The paper was written in early 1975 and involves a prediction of which nations are most likely to be engaged in an international war in the immediate future. The Tensiometer method which utilizes a hyperbolic relationship between GNP/Capita and Military Expenditure per Capita was used. Nations which are over‐armed are 30.6 times more likely to be in a war than are the under‐armed nations. The over‐armed nations, which are named, represent the pol…
The discovery of the indifference response
The development of an inter‐nation tensiometer
The military expenditure (M.E.) of a nation depends partly on its wealth as measured by its Gross National Product (GNP), partly on geography, and partly on its presence in an alliance. The authors describe a method for calculating the M.E. value if it depended solely on the GNP; the value of the M.E. so obtained is termed the theoretical M.E. (M.E.Th.). Dividing the actual M.E. by the M.E.Th. (and multiplying by 100) yields a pure number, the te…
Comparison of Weighted Voting Formulas for the United Nations
If the United Nations is ever to assume the greater powers needed for effective peace-keeping and peace-making, the General Assembly and/or the Security Council will need an improved system of representation and voting. The present system of giving each country one vote in the General Assembly, regardless of the country's size, and of giving a veto in the Security Council to five big powers, is unrealistic and imperfect for many reasons, which ne…
The perception of national power
Traditional political science has emphasized the role of Indeed, balance of and spheres of influence are basic terms in much descriptive analysis. Catlin has stated in Systematic Politics (1962, p. 79) that all politics is by its nature power politics. Moreover, various theories on the causes of war, such as Organski's (1958, p. 332), speak of war being due to changes in power; but few of these theories specify in quantitative terms exactly what …
