Abstract

This article examines the scaling methods of the WEIS data set. In particular, the study examines the difference between the Vincent and Goldstein scaling methods at predicting the fluctuations in behavior between nations throughout the international system. In a previous article, Goldstein concluded that his and Vincent's scale results converged when examining the behavior of the United States, the Soviet Union and China toward one another. The results show that Goldstein and Vincent scaling methods converge at the international system level.
