Abstract

Many governments transfer physical and human capital to other governments as military assistance with the goals of enhancing recipient’s governing capabilities and achieve foreign policy goals. These transfers, however, are also “coercion-enabling” as they lower the cost of engaging in predatory behavior, are associated with multiple principal-agent problems, and result in system effects. We provide a framework of coercion-enabling capital and suggest such transfers are likely to lead to predation in many cases. To illustrate these dynamics, we examine the case of U.S. transfers to El Salvador during the Cold War and the Salvadoran Civil War of 1979–1992.

美国干预与胁迫-赋能资本：来自萨尔瓦多的证据

许多国家政府将物质资本和人力资本作为军事援助转让给其他国家政府，目的是提高受援国的治理能力，实现外交政策目标。然而，这些转让也是 "胁迫使能 "的，因为它们降低了从事掠夺性行为的成本，与多重委托代理问题相关联，并导致系统效应。我们提供了一个 "胁迫促成资本 "的框架，并指出在许多情况下，这种转移可能会导致掠夺行为。为了说明这些动态变化，我们研究了冷战期间和 1979-1992 年萨尔瓦多内战期间美国向萨尔瓦多转移资金的案例。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
