Abstract
Abstract We outline a framework for understanding variation in cobelligerent resource coordination of money and material. An important feature of coalitional resource procurement is the role played by private firms and market forces. These shape the processes by which cobelligerents facilitate acquisition and distribution. At times, cobelligerents rely on themselves or the unilateral provision of resources from a major power supplier. At other times, cobelligerents pool their resources and create international institutions to coordinate the purchase of material. Our framework demonstrates that to understand the means by which coalitions supply themselves and, in turn, create wartime efficiencies in money and material, one must account for both classic determinants of alliance politics—namely the distribution of power between allies—as well as domestic and transnational market forces that can constrain or enable coalition members’ ability, individually and collectively, to procure war inputs.
