Project Title
For a one-time project on small-state statecraft and realignment as part of a Request for Proposals on Understanding the Forces Shaping the Global Order
Date
Sep. 12, 2024
Duration
24 months
Description
As the forces supporting global order continue to weaken, Texas A&M University proposes to research the drivers of small-state alignment with greater regional and global powers. Combining social, economic, and political measures in a latent variable statistical analysis, Texas A&M will create a global alignment measure for every country in the world, tracing what factors influenced alignment behaviors from 2000-2025. The project’s findings will be compiled in a final report to be published and briefed to policymaking and analytical communities.
