越来越多的国际关系学者认为，政府间组织（IGO）促进和平。现有的方法强调政府间组织成员资格是单个国家的重要因果属性，就像经济发展和政权类型一样。作者使用社会网络分析表明，IGO成员也创造了不同的社会权力分配，显着塑造国家之间的冲突。成员资格将国家划分为结构上等同的集团，并在国际体系中建立了声望等级。这些相对的立场促进了共同的信念，改变了社会权力的分配，使某些政策战略更加实际或合理。作者介绍了新的IGO关系数据，并探讨了他们的方法在1885年至1992年期间的经验优点。他们表明，冲突是增加了许多其他国家在结构上等同的集群的存在，而大的声望差距和集团内的偏袒减少它。
A growing number of international relations scholars argue that intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) promotepeace. Existing approaches emphasize IGO membership as an important-causal attribute of individual states, much like economic development and regime type. The authors use social network analysis to show that IGO memberships also create a disparate distribution of social power, significantly shaping conflicts between states. Membership partitions states into structurally equivalent clusters and establishes hierarchies of prestige in the international system. These relative positions promote common beliefs and alter the distribution of social power, making certain policy strategies more practical or rational. The authors introduce new IGO relational data and explore the empirical merits of their approach during the period from 1885 to 1992. They demonstrate that conflict is increased by the presence of many other states in structurally equivalent clusters, while large prestige disparities and in-group favoritism decrease it.
