Summary
Literature on alliance and coalition warfare has generated a tendency to consider alliances in an aggregate manner, blurring the distinction between multilateral and bilateral partnerships, and especially overlooking the impact of the latter within the context of the former. However, alliances are rarely symmetric and coherent wholes. This calls into question the capacity of traditional approaches to coalition warfare to understand the root dynamics of intra-alliance management in conflict.
