The spiral model identifies the next step in reasoning about states' behavior after identifying the intensity of the security dilemma.

In the post-war period, middle-range theory became the dominant approach to theory construction in all variable-based social sciences. [6]
Six upon six spiral model of E-C theory. For most of Graves's original period of research, GT was the latest state to appear. Near the end, a small number of subjects expressing GT in his study shifted to a new state, HU. This emergence, seven or so years into his experiment, of a rare new system is what prompted Graves to view the set of ...
