Abstract

The measurement of cooperation and/or conflict among nations differs greatly among several empirical studies of international relations. Therefore research has been done into the multidimensionality of both behavioral concepts and their relationship on the basis of data available in COPDAB. First, cooperation and conflict among nations proved to be positively related to each other. This result turned out to be very reliable over time as well as across space, for instance, in different groups of nations. Secondly, it was found that there exists a highly connected social network among nine major groups of nations showing homogenous behavior with respect to each other and other nations. Both results suggest that within this social network a high degree of responsiveness to escalatory behavior of any group of nations has a negative feedback effect upon further escalation.
