6 Literature Review Debate: Encouragement vs Restraint Arms transfers promote conflict (Craft and Smaldone, 2002; Pearson, Brzoska and Crantz, 1992) Heighten leader perceptions of military strength Offset costs of fighting for the recipient Arms transfers promote restraint (Kinsella and Tillema, 1995; Krause, 2004; Kinsella, 1998) Create regional and/or dyadic balances of power Deter opponents from attacking Arms dependence is associated with more cooperation and less conflict Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 4

8 Literature Review Arms Dependence, Military Aid, and Cooperation Arms provided on a grant basis thought to be more conditional on good behavior (Kinsella, 1998) Yet, other studies have reveal agency problems due to fungilibity of aid (Kono and Montinola, 2013; Collier and Hoeffler, 2007) Recipients of high strategic value temper their cooperation with the donor (Sullivan, Tessman and Li, 2011) Use these resources to arm against opponents (Boutton, 2014) Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 5

12 Contribution Contribution We disaggregate arms purchases and military aid Focus on foreign policy decisions made by the recipient The form in which arms are acquired matters Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 7
13 Theory Two-Good Theory of Foreign Policy (Palmer and Morgan, 2006) States: rational unitary actors Composite goods: Change and Maintenance Foreign policies: inputs that translate resources into goods Allocation decisions over inputs are determined by: Available resources for foreign policy Preferences over change and maintenance Relative efficiency of each input in producing good i Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 8
14 Theory Two Good Theory: Foreign policy inputs for a general good Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 9
15 Theory Two Good Theory: Foreign policy inputs for two goods Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 10
16 Theory Military Aid and Conflict Behavior Acts as a positive external shock (δ) on the recipient s arms expenditures Allows the recipient to allocate resources to other desirable policies that produce both goods H1: As the receipt of arms through military aid increases, the probability that the recipient reciprocates dispute behavior directed at it also increases H2: As the receipt of arms through military aid increases, the probability that the recipient initiates dispute behavior also increases Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 11
17 Theory Arms Purchases and Conflict Behavior Ceteris paribus, increases in arms purchases are a result of: Increased relative efficiency of that policy input in producing maintenance reduction in other maintenance inputs or... A shift in preferences for maintenance over change reduction in change inputs As efficiency in production of one good increases, the state re-allocates some resources toward the other good H3: Increases in foreign arms purchases minor decrease in the probability of dispute reciprocation H4: Increases in foreign arms purchases minor increase in the probability of dispute initiation Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 12

25 Conclusion Conclusion Arms acquisitions generally affect recipient conflict behavior This is particularly noticeable when arms are subsidized through military aid Military aid acts as an exogenous shock on arms expenditure re-allocate resources toward other policies Arms purchased by the state are only weakly associated with conflict initiation Future work: Include data from non-us suppliers, account for overlap in military aid and arms purchases, identify whether such factors contribute to escalation of disputes to war. Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 20
26 Future Work Conclusion Include data from non-us suppliers Account for overlap in military aid and arms purchases Identify differences in effect on escalation to war Oestman & Morgan Drive It Like You Stole It 21
