Joint military exercises (JMEs) consist of two or more militaries collaboratively training on military tasks. These activities are a common feature of modern defense relations yet under-explored in existing scholarship. Through three essays, my dissertation contributes to this gap by probing political mechanisms behind their occurrence.In the first essay, I depart from existing scholarship by shifting the analysis from major power supply to minor power demand for exercise activity. I argue minor power demand for exercises is associated with economic globalization. Increasing exposure to the global economy externalizes a state's economic security. JMEs are a cost effective and flexible pathway for minor powers to promote economic security. This pathway is especially attractive to globalized autocracies due to their inherent disadvantages in attracting outside investment and forming democratic alliance ties. Using non-major power countries between 1978 and 2016, I find that economic globalization increases the probability of participating in JMEs. I also find this relationship is amplified among autocracies.In the second essay, I shift to a network-level analysis of exercises and arms transfers. Grounded in the international hierarchy literature, I analyze how the arms and exercise networks have coevolved since the end of the Cold War. Arms and JME ties reflect a latent hierarchy that manifests in bilateral and network influences that cross networks. Using a coevolutionary network model, I confirm a reciprocal relationship between arms and exercises. My findings provide new insight into how hierarchical arms trading networks are formed and maintained. JMEs fuse arms trading networks, pointing to the latent influence available through the coordinated use of defense cooperation tools. In the third essay, I shift the level of analysis to military bureaucracies. Unresolved in existing scholarship is the extent to which military bureaucratic interests shape JME activity. Organizational theory suggests military elites prioritize bureaucratic interests in routine peacetime activity such as exercises. Using a novel sample of military officers, the original survey experiment presented in this essay shows that bureaucratic interests outweigh national interests for respondents considering a hypothetical exercise. More broadly, this study empirically demonstrates the salience of bureaucratic interests in foreign policy.
