The networks that emerged are the result of national choice processes about forming or breaking ties with other states. States are constantly concerned with their security and survival in an anarchic world. Their security concerns stem from their external environment and their past conflicts. Because many of them cannot ensure their security by their own power, they need allies to balance against a hostile international environment. The alliance choices made by states define the structure of security cooperation networks and spill over into other cooperative networks, including trade and institutions. Maoz tests his theory by applying social networks analysis (SNA) methods to international relations. He offers a novel perspective as a system of interrelated networks that co-evolve and interact with one another. 410 0$aStructural analysis in the social sciences ;$v32. 606 $aInternational cooperation$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aInternational cooperation$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld politics$y19th century 606 $aWorld politics$y20th century 615 0$aInternational cooperation$xHistory 615 0$aInternational cooperation$xHistory 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a341.209 700 $aMaoz$b Zeev$0849496 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459606803321 996 $aNetworks of nations$91897033 997 $aUNINA
