Arbitration, Military Capability, and Major Power War, 1815-1914: A Systems Approach to Evaluation Research.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence on whether, during its heyday, major power arbitrations had any effect on war and, if so, under what conditions did they occur. The study finds that, when war potential was spread among the major powers and national capabilities showed little movement, the great powers tended to arbitrate important issues, and these arbitrations had a dampening effect on future war.
