This dissertation study analyses South-South bilateral cooperative events in order to test the fit of the Environmental Model which holds that capacity to act, opportunity and willingness combine to account for the foreign policy behavior of small states. The Conflict and Peace Data Bank's events data on the cooperative bilateral foreign policy interactions among Third World states from 1960 to 1979 are analyzed. Measures of association and log-linear analysis are utilized in the analysis. Capacity to act, opportunity and willingness are found to vary across regional interactions, and all three factors exhibit a positive though weak association with South-South cooperative events. The log-linear analysis indicates that the joint effects of capacity to act, opportunity and willingness account for a portion of the variation in South-South cooperative events. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 55-04, Section: A, page: 1084. / Major Professor: James Lee Ray. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1994.
