Replication Data for: Legislative Politics in the Solid South Nov 18, 2020 Olson, Michael; Snyder, James, 2020, "Replication Data for: Legislative Politics in the Solid South", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SURWEA, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:fnxByI6SNRZLiqaYVfMl3A== [fileUNF] This dataverse study contains the quantitative data used in my dissertation, "Legislative Politics in the Solid South." There are many datasets due to each of eleven states being analyzed separately for each of three papers. As I develop these projects further and (hopefully) publish them, this data will become out of date, and newer data and repli...

The “security dilemma” – the psychological motivations of the attacking state (AS), coupled with su...

Replication Data for: Resistance and Control: Statebuilding Through Rebel-Civilian Relations Nov 18, 2020 Liu, Shelley, 2020, "Replication Data for: Resistance and Control: Statebuilding Through Rebel-Civilian Relations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/H4GMO6, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:H1e9E5B6Y5YE/6QpgrznfA== [fileUNF] Why, and how, do victorious rebel groups consolidate power after war? I argue that rebel governments consolidate power by strategically engaging in statebuilding behavior — allocating resources towards public goods and the military — and that subnational variation in resource targeting depends on their wartime experiences. I develop a theory of org...

Replication Data for: Thinking Fast and Slow in Alliance Politics Nov 18, 2020 Lee, Yoon Jin, 2020, "Replication Data for: Thinking Fast and Slow in Alliance Politics", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FOTZPD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:xWzj18b7eweKzoFDD8fHtQ== [fileUNF] Abstract: In this dissertation, I develop a general level sociological theory of choice, which subsumes the classical expected utility theory of choice. I explain when the logic of habit (absence of utility) and when the various forms of instrumental, normative, and motivated rationality (presence of utility) would operate, and why. The key explana...
Issue Linkage and the Logic of Hybrid Coalitions Nov 18, 2020 Lee, Boram, 2020, "Issue Linkage and the Logic of Hybrid Coalitions", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MSS4LD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:S1HfjhsEtkCpstjeQTS2/Q== [fileUNF] How do non-trade issue linkages broaden pro-trade coalitions? With a focus on trade-environmental issue linkages in U.S. trade agreements, I ask why some activists and legislators support trade agreements in exchange for environmental clauses despite dilemmas at the stages of negotiation, ratification, and enforcement.
Race, Coercion, and Liberation in American Political Development Nov 18, 2020 Mazumder, Soumyajit, 2020, "Race, Coercion, and Liberation in American Political Development", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AJE0UY, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:tk8A+GGF9zoMysg8H15mTA== [fileUNF] Why do coercive institutions rise and fall? While this question receives vast attention in the comparative politics literature, Americanists have been slower to take up this question. This is surprising since the United States has had some of the most coercive institutions throughout history such as chattel slavery, apartheid, and the police. This...
Replication Data for: Essays on the Role of Politics for Religious Affiliation and Identity Nov 18, 2020 Malina, Gabrielle; Hersh, Eitan, 2020, "Replication Data for: Essays on the Role of Politics for Religious Affiliation and Identity", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/6DKZLR, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:+GgaRgRrQNqOadRpZB5eEQ== [fileUNF] Political and religious identities are tightly interwined in the U.S. today. Political attachments causally affect decisions to join and leave organized religion. While the effect of politics on broad religious affiliation is well-documented, the effect on churchgoers' decisions to join individual congregations, and the importance relative to other...

While we know a lot about the political parties and activists that played such an important role in events following the self-immolation and death of the Tunisian street vendor, Mohamed Bouazzizi, we know much less about...
