The evolution of interstate rivalry

In this dissertation I study the evolution of interstate rivalry, seeking to identify situations or behaviors that lead to rivalry. Past research suggests that most interstate conflict occurs between long-time rival countries, and that crises occurring in the context of enduring rivalry tend to be more escalatory than other crises. Existing research on rivalry, though, has focused on the dynamics of already-established rivalry. Little is known about how adversaries come to treat each other as long-term rivals.
