Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper seeks to specify the conditions under which liberal and realist theories of institutional effects on conflict and cooperation in rivalry hold. Liberalism and Neoliberalism arguments suggest that pooled resources, economic interdependence and access to third party dispute settlement mechanisms should reduce levels of hostility between states. In the rivalry context, these theories suggest that cooperative institutions should also prevent and or reduce the longevity of the rivalry. Realist and Neorealist arguments suggest that institutions have either no effect or that the effects of institutions reflect the systemic power distributions of states and therefore might serve as a resource acquisition tool for the state. In the rivalry context, neorealist arguments might perceive RTAs as a comptetive resource to secure economic and political power. Therefore states could compete for influence in the organization or at least deny a rival unilateral access to these resources. We expect to find that support for both arguments. In keeping with the liberal theories, we expect RTAs to act as preventative tools for states to avoid experience rivalries. We also expect to find support for the realist argument that state behavior in RTAs will reflect systemic power structures and may provide another venue for continuation of the rivalry.
