Abstract

This chapter will present and explain the research hypotheses that are the cornerstones of the empirical part of this study. First, I will recapitulate some of the main ideas of this study. So far the theoretical discussion has linked mechanisms of power and influence to the various forms of embeddedness examined—economic, institutional, political, and cultural—to predict effects on decision making, where votes are the observable results of strategic decisions. The form of economic embeddedness employed is trade ties, and three forms of institutional embeddedness are used: formalized military alliances, direct country-to-country diplomatic visits, and common intergovernmental organization (IGO) memberships. When examining nested embeddedness, political and cultural embeddedness are moderators for the institutional embeddedness that is IGO membership. Each form utilizes different mechanisms or a different combination of mechanisms. Predictions relate the mechanisms to their expected impact on similar dyadic voting. Power- and influence-mechanisms are operationalized in the hypotheses using network concepts such as degree-centrality and connectedness. The following sections explain the hypotheses.
