dc.subject	The goal of this paper is to investigate whether military factors play a role in the blockage of numerous foreign inward acquisitions. The results of this paper show that the military capability of a source country is positively related to the amount of blocked acquisitions from said country in the US. In addition, it is found that military alliances and political relations weaken this relationship.
