Summary, etc. Various factors have been identified as reasons for superior military performance. These include democracy, Western culture, human capital, and good civil military relations. Based on the outcomes of battles between 1898 and 1987 this article suggests that these are in fact largely irrelevant (democracy actually has a negative effect). "... the more economically developed side consistently outfought the poorer side on a soldier-for-soldier basis" (author's abstract). Suggests that conceptions of military power should take account of a state's resources and its economic development.
