Complementarity in alliances: How strategic compatibility and hierarchy promote efficient cooperation in international security

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high?
