Alliance Constellations: A Social Exchange Perspective
从社会交换视角研究联盟星座，强调广义交换的作用，讨论三种社会控制机制以应对管理难题，并基于交换视野和广义互惠类型提出星座分类。
We develop a social exchange perspective of alliance constellations, emphasizing the role of generalized exchanges. We then discuss three social control mechanisms for mitigating the unique difficulties of managing constellations, and we conclude by proposing a typology of constellations based on the dimensions of exchange horizon and type of generalized reciprocity. The perspective presented here contributes not only to research on alliances but also to the larger body of literature on generalized social exchange processes, which has traditionally been centered on interpersonal relations.
