Abstract: This study provides a new model that allows for qualitative aspects of power to be quantified, compared, and integrated with quantitative parameters. It proposes and tests the model, applying it to a real-world conflict system: the model is implemented to examine the balance of power between the Israel Air Force (IAF) and the combined air forces of an Arab war coalition.
Contents: Past approaches to power assessment -- The model -- The balance of airpower in the Arab-Israeli conflict -- Sensitivity analysis -- The model applied to regional conflict dyads -- Conclusions -- Appendices.
