Perspectives on Collective Action Organizations
Abstract
In this study four theoretical perspectives are used to develop seven sets of testable hypotheses about the behavior of collective action organizations. These four perspectives are: (1) Coalition theory, (2) Alliance theory, (3) Collective goods theory, and (4) Cartel theory. The two collective action organizations that the hypotheses derived from this theory will be applied to are OPEC and NATO. Through this method a number of principles were developed about the behavior of collective action organizations.
