Abstract

This study empirically tests Model II of Social Field Theory, a model elaborated by R. J. Rummel in the Dimensionality of Nations (DON) project at the University of Hawaii. The basic assumptions of this empirical theory are specified and the methodological considerations for transforming the sample data and testing the theory are presented in detail. Comparisons are made of the findings of this research to previous and similar empirical studies in international relations. The results of the tests cf Hodel II of Social Field Theory on 128 nation subjects and twenty international groups are presented and analyzed. Interpretations and policy implications are specified on the basis of these findings.
