A number of small-n qualitative studies have investigated the facilitators of U.S. international intelligence cooperation. This dissertation, however, offers a large-n quantitative study to test a larger range of hypotheses in a more systematic manner. The research study’s central question is whether international terrorist acts directly affect the likelihood of U.S. international intelligence cooperation. At the same time, the study controls for other factors, including domestic terrorism, military cooperation, regime type, cultural attributes, economic performance, and the strength of ties to the international community. An important contribution of this research study is the creation of a data base to quantify the United States’ international intelligence cooperative behavior. Dubbed the “United States’ International Intelligence Behavior (USIIB) Project,” the data base laid the empirical foundation for this dissertation. The resulting data set made possible the analysis of rival hypotheses—realist and liberal—in the same analytical model. The analysis shows that terrorist incidents—both international and domestic—have significant explanatory powers for the United States’ international intelligence cooperation, even controlling for many other factors. In addition, military cooperation, economic characteristics, and ties to the international community also showed a positive impact on U.S. international intelligence cooperation. Regime type and cultural attributes, however, produced a negative effect on U.S. international intelligence cooperation. 2009-07-07 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1246699828 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1246699828 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
