Collaboration among countries attempts to secure a more peaceful world and mitigate military expenses; however, alliance members' free-riding undermines the basis of alliances. The limited literature on alliances links free-riding motivations to the Public Goods Theory, which views alliances as public goods. However, studies on the asymmetric contributions of an alliance's member states yield varying results. This thesis uses state-level alliance and military spending data to discover whether an increase in a country's number of alliances actually affects its military spending. I then relate the changes in military spending to free-riding if at all evident. I contribute to the existing literature by determining whether economic weight, measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP), affects the relationship of interest and reveals free-riding by small or large countries. I find evidence of a statistically significant negative relationship between military alliances and military spending. Further, I find that small countries increase military spending and large countries decrease military spending after a one-alliance increase, respectively. The varying results between country size reveals that alliances' effect is not constant across all countries.
