How do states overcome problems of
collective action in the face of human atrocities, terrorism and the
threat of weapons of mass destruction? How does international
burden-sharing in this context look like: between the rich and the poor;
the big and the small? These are the questions Marina E. Henke
addresses in her new book Constructing Allied Cooperation .
Through qualitative and quantitative analysis of 80 multilateral
military coalitions, Henke demonstrates that coalitions do not emerge
naturally. Rather, pivotal states deliberately build them. They develop
operational plans and bargain suitable third parties into the coalition,
purposefully using their bilateral and multilateral diplomatic
connections—what Henke terms diplomatic embeddedness—as a resource. As Constructing Allied Cooperation
shows, these ties constitute an invaluable state capability to engage
others in collective action: they are tools to construct cooperation.
Pulling
apart the strategy behind multilateral military coalition-building,
Henke looks at the ramifications and side effects as well. As she notes,
via these ties, pivotal states have access to private information on
the deployment preferences of potential coalition participants.
Moreover, they facilitate issue-linkages and side-payments and allow
states to overcome problems of credible commitments. Finally, pivotal
states can use common institutional contacts (IO officials) as
cooperation brokers, and they can convert common institutional venues
into fora for negotiating coalitions.
The theory and evidence
presented by Henke force us to revisit the conventional wisdom on how
cooperation in multilateral military operations comes about. The author
generates new insights with respect to who is most likely to join a
given multilateral intervention, what factors influence the strength and
capacity of individual coalitions, and what diplomacy and diplomatic
ties are good for. Moreover, as the Trump administration promotes an
"America First" policy and withdraws from international agreements and
the United Kingdom completes Brexit, Constructing Allied Cooperation
is an important reminder that international security cannot be delinked
from more mundane forms of cooperation; multilateral military
coalitions thrive or fail depending on the breadth and depth of existing
social and diplomatic networks.

"Military coalitions do not emerge naturally due to alliance commitments or convergent security preferences ; rather they are deliberately constructed by pivotal states, which instrumentalize pre-existing diplomatic ties to negotiate third parties into the coalition"
