鉴于物质能力概念在国际政治模式中的核心作用，以及这一概念的模糊性，我们必须从行动的角度来界定和衡量它。这种努力有着悠久的历史，鉴于解释的多样性以及验证的困难，我们可以预期，在未来很长一段时间内，将定期提出替代指标。在此，一些假设，程序，和影响的战争项目的努力。首先，我们把“权力”作为一般概念，定义为一个国家（或其他行为体）既能行使影响力又能抵制影响力企图的能力。这种能力是地理、政治组织和合法性、“利益”定义、精英能力，当然还有物质能力等因素的作用。我们认为，最后一个因素是沿着三个维度下降的：人口、工业和军事。本文阐述了测量问题、理论前提和方法。
Given the central role of the concept of material capabilities in international politics models, and the ambiguity of the notion, it is essential that we define and measure it in operational terms. Such efforts have a long history and, given the multiplicity of interpretations as well as the difficulty of validation, we can expect alternative indicators to be put forth with some regularity well into the future. Herein, some of the assumptions, procedures, and implications of the Correlates of War project effort. First, we treat “power” as the generic concept, defined as the capacity of a state (or other actor) both to exercise influence and to resist influence attempts. That capacity is a function of, inter alia, geography, political organization and legitimacy, definition of “interests,” elite competence, and, of course, material capabilities. We see the last of these as falling along three dimensions: demographic, industrial, and military. The paper spells out the measurement problems, theoretic premise...
