Abstract

ABSTRACT What explains variation in how a patron manages its existing alliance with a client state when improving relations with an adversary? I theorize that the patron’s alliance management strategy is influenced by the client’s degree of bargaining power over its patron. Bargaining power derives from the availability of an outside option. Using archival and interview evidence, I show variation in alliance bargaining dynamics during US–China rapprochement. While the United States was dismissive toward South Korea, China was highly placating toward North Korea, making concessions and providing compensation. However, China became more dismissive during Sino-South Korean normalization, when North Korea’s bargaining power decreased. The findings have important policy implications for understanding how a patron could simultaneously manage alliance and adversary relationships.

在恩人与敌手的和解中管理小盟友:两个朝鲜的故事
如何解释赞助人在改善与对手的关系时如何管理与附庸国的现有联盟的变化?我的理论认为,赞助人的联盟管理策略受到客户对其赞助人议价能力程度的影响。议价能力来自外部选择的可用性。利用档案和访谈证据,我展示了中美和解期间联盟议价动态的变化。美国对韩国表现出轻蔑的态度,而中国对朝鲜则表现出高度的安抚、让步和补偿。然而,在中韩关系正常化期间,当朝鲜的议价能力下降时,中国变得更加不屑一顾。研究结果对理解赞助人如何同时管理联盟和对手关系具有重要的政策意义。
