Xerox University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1976 Political Science, international law and relations Xerox University Microfilmsi Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 © 1976 STEPHEN DAHL WESBROOK ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTERNATIONAL POWER DISTRIBUTION AND WAR* THE EFFECTS OF CONCENTRATION AND DISPERSION OF POWER ON INTERSTATE WAR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School oi The Ohio State University By Stephen D. Wesbrook, B.S., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 1976 Reading Committee* Dr. Charles F. Hermann Dr. Chadwick F. Alger Dr. James E. Harf Adviser Department of Political Science ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For their guidance and direction throughout my graduate study, including the preparation of this dissertation, I am indebted to Professor Chadwick F. Alger, Professor James E, Harf, Professor Charles F. Hermann, and Professor Allan R. Millett. While I was studying at the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University (September, 19?2 through August, 197*01 they provided me with a personalised program in the area of national security affairs. After I left the campus, they adjusted departmental procedures and their own schedules to allow me to prepare this work and still meet the very considerable demands placed on an active duty officer in the Armed Forces. The vast majority of this work was written while I was attending the Infantry Officers Advanced Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, in the year following my departure from the Columbus campus. Because I was no longer on a university campus with ready access to libraries, computers, and advice, it would have been impossible to complete this research in the time that it was completed without the help of a friend and classmate at Ohio State— -Lavoy Ledford, III. He provided liaison between myself, my research committee, and the graduate school. Also, he ran the Pearson correlation and GINI index computational programs for me on the com­ puters available at Ohio State. I am also indebted to Dr, Wayne H. Ferris, Richard Katon Associates, Rockville, Maryland, for supplying me with certain pieces of unpublished data which were crucial to this study. This saved months of research and computation. ii The final preparation of the manuscript was aided by the efforts of William J. Gregor and my father, both of whom helped edit the final draft, and by Mrs, Sarabeth Rathbun, who typed the manuscript. Although this work was not financially supported by or in any way connected with the Department of the Army, this research would not have been possible without its farsighted policy of allowing a few officers the opportunity to begin their graduate education very early in their careers. Finally, this study would have been impossible without the understanding of my wife Sharon, who gave up a great deal to see it completed. iii VITA March 2, 19*f6....
