Abstract
An alliance is a formal contingent commitment by two or more states to some future action. Alliances have been widely discussed in the international relations community because hundreds or perhaps thousands of interactions may take place between states in any given year, but few interactions create the impact intended by alliance formation. In this paper, we investigate the historical dynamics of international alliances from a hypernetwork science perspective. Exploring the Formal Alliances dataset from the Correlates of War Project, we focus on three time periods: pre-World War I, pre-World War II, and current day. By using centrality measures such as the notions of s-closeness, s-betweenness, s-eccentricity, and s-local clustering coefficient, we provide a rating benchmark to classify the impact of an alliance.
