Lake, David, 2018, "Replication Data for: Hierarchy in International Relations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/90PR8O, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:S8+7z0/cVixl4iikjsSvXQ== [fileUNF]
International relations are generally understood as a realm of anarchy in which countries lack any superior authority and interact within Hobbesian state of nature. In Hierarchy in International Relations, David A. Lake challenges this traditional view, demonstrating that states exercise authority over one another in international hierarchies that... |
David A. Lake; Angela O’Mahony, 2007, "Replication data for: The Incredible Shrinking State: Explaining the Territorial Size of Countries", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QVRSVD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:5V24GuqqTfuFblwwyhV9VQ== [fileUNF]
The average size of states within the international system steadily expanded during the 19th century, nearly doubling between 1816 and 1876, and then contracted over the 20th century. In previous work, we found that two key characteristics of globalization, increasing economies of scale and economic openness, as well as regime type, were important... |

David A. Lake, 2007, "Replication data for: Powerful Pacifists: Democratic States and War", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/I9TIIM, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:anuNBJ/g9U6D2PmsV+w/Lw== [fileUNF]
Democracies are less likely to fight wars with each other. They are also more likely to prevail in wars with autocratic states. This study offers an explanation of this syndrome of powerful pacifism drawn from the microeconomic theory of the state. State rent seeking creates an imperialist bias in a county's foreign policy. This bias is smallest in... |

David A. Lake, 2007, "Replication data for: Entangling Relations: American Foreign Policy in its Century", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AYFCSM, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:8DluOylpFDv0pXKcTlpPFw== [fileUNF]
Throughout what publisher Henry Luce dubbed the "American century," the United States has wrestled with two central questions. Should it pursue its security unilaterally or in cooperation with others? If the latter, how can its interests be best protected against opportunism by untrustworthy partners? In a major attempt to explain security relation... |
David A. Lake; Matthew A. Baum, 2007, "Replication data for: The Political Economy of Growth: Democracy and Human Capital", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/XWMRKX, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:Zb5gD40T+V3Fim6FOqKqhw== [fileUNF]
Democracy is more than just another brake or booster for the economy. We argue that there are significant indirect effects of democracy on growth through public health and education. Where economists use life expectancy and education as proxies for human capital, we expect democracy will be an important determinant of the level of public services m... |
David A. Lake; Matthew A. Baum, 2007, "Replication data for: The Invisible Hand of Democracy: Political Control and the Provision of Public Services", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KK7SRS, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:F08BdplYie6rZsH6fc/PBQ== [fileUNF]
Despite considerable normative support, analysts have failed to identify any systematic effects of democracy on domestic policy outputs. Building on a theory of the state as a monopoly producer of public services and establishing a common foundation for studying variations in regimes and their policy consequences, the authors hypothesize that democ... |
David A. Lake, 2007, "Replication data for: Escape from the State of Nature: Authority and Hierarchy in World Politics", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HVKGMZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:LiRJlvHzMhHvaeWGyhEyIg== [fileUNF]
International relations theory has long assumed that the modern international system is a state of nature devoid of political authority. This assumption of international anarchy is a foundation of realist thought and is believed to lead to the security dilemma that pervades relations between all states. It is equally central to neoliberal instituti... |
