Description
This study empirically tests two new theories of international relations
elaborated by Jack E. Vincent as "Relative Status-Field Theory" and
"Distance Theory." The findings are compared with empirical results
for R. J. Rummel's "Attribute," "Social Field," and "Status-Field"
Theories. The cowman philosophical foundation of the theories is discussed,
and the basic assumptions and expectations of each theory are
specified. The data and methodological procedures necessary for testing
the theories are considered. Suggestions for further theoretical development
and testing are given. An elementary knowledge of statistics is
required, although some knowledge of multi-variate analysis would be
helpful.
