Abstract "Do military alliances deter or provoke conflict? The Window Before: The Politics of Alliance Implementation explores this critical question by examining the often-overlooked phase of alliance implementation, a complex and protracted process that occurs before an alliance's deterrent benefits are realized. It argues that the formation of new alliances does not immediately translate into increased military strength. Instead, allies must navigate political and military challenges to operationalize their alliance, creating a vulnerable window of time before an alliance is implemented"-- Provided by publisher.
