The central purpose of this article is to establish the relationship. - between power projection, technology, and economic power.. - How economically powerful does a state need to be before it can. - afford the capital intensive technologies, foreign bases, and military. - and logistical forces associated with global power projection?. - The specific research question we focus on in this article is: What. - determines how far states send their military forces? We argue. - that as the costs associated with projecting power decrease or as. - the wealth necessary to project power increases, states will project. - power more frequently and at greater distances. We use a system. - level time series analysis from 1870-1936 and a dispute level analysis. - on all militarized international disputes from 1870-2000 to. - test these propositions. This article is the first to demonstrate empirically. - that the distance and frequency of power projection is a. - function of the cost of projecting power. We close with a discussion. - of contemporary states building power projection capabilities. - and how future research might build from our research to explain. - this behavior.
