Article Abstract:

A fresh look is taken at the long accepted argument that military allies are more likely to trade with one another than with non-allies underlining the connection between economics and security in international relations. However it is observed that allies, including military ones, who have specified economic cooperation in their alliance agreements trade more with one another than with those with whom there is no such promise of economic cooperation.
