Abstract
In traditional terms when we talk about a link between war and regime survival, we find ourselves in the realm of domestic politics. It is well documented that the leaders use diversionary force to exploit the domestic audience. However, in this study, we argue that, depending on their level of dependence on the external sources of power, leaders may also use force to impress upon the external audience to extract moral and material support for the survival of their regimes. Here, we find strong evidence of a link between domestic and external factors in the context of the superpowers and their clients. In other words, we emphasize the dynamics of in-group/out-group hypothesis of the diversionary use of force to the alliance behavior of the superpowers and their clients. Keywords: Legitimacy, Pattern-Client Relationship, Alliances, Superpower, Cold War, Third World.
