Gray, Julia; Lindstat, Rene; Slapin, Jonathan, 2020, "Replication Data for: The Dynamics of Enlargement in International Organizations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/I6H7L5, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:ULmFU71iU82K4trO8UbLTg== [fileUNF]
Most international organizations (IOs) expand their membership over the course of their lifespan. Although these enlargements tend to be heralded as normatively positive — for the IOs themselves, for the new members, and for cooperative outcomes more generally — expansions can also lead to conflicts in the organization. What conditions lead to enla... |

Shelton, Crystal; Cleven, Erik; Hoffman, Aaron M, 2020, "Replication Data for: Deadly foreign terrorism and the rank-ordered tournament for foreign press attention: implications for counterterrorism.", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/5XFV0V, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:v8g1LCaIKLu4qcurvgMLvg== [fileUNF]
Limiting the attention countries receive from the foreign press is thought to reduce the incidence of deadly foreign attacks, but by how much? We show that the incidence of deadly foreign terrorism increases as a nonlinear function of the level of foreign press attention states receive. As a result, the benefits of reducing foreign press attention... |

Interactions, International, 2020, "Replication Data for: United Nations Peacekeeping and Terrorism: Short-Term Risks and Long-Term Benefits", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MLVPEO, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:9PvEa38VfhEOaHbX4f/Bxw== [fileUNF]
Does the introduction of UN forces impact terrorism? We argue that at least initially, UN peacekeeping missions may significantly shift the local conflict bargaining process, creating incentives for terrorist and insurgent groups to increase their attacks against civilians. UN missions create a symbolic endpoint to initial negotiations, alter the b... |

Abigail S. Post; Paromita Sen, 2020, "Replication Data for: Why can’t a woman be more like a man? Female leaders in crisis bargaining", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/8PXVU3, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:JF4tmxQ3hBKR99TXgRLnkg== [fileUNF]
What is the impact of gender on international affairs? In this paper, we argue that existing theories of international relations often miss the crucial role of gendered perceptions in politics. We draw on research in experimental psychology and the comparative politics of gendered leadership to understand how gender influences reactions to female f... |

Milton, Daniel; Price, Bryan, 2020, "Replication Data for: Too Central to Fail? Terror Networks and Leadership Decapitation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U1ARF5, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:IUD/OKq+syyGBMPecmpNcQ== [fileUNF]
Leadership decapitation, as a means of hindering the operations and hastening the demise of terrorist organizations, has been the subject of a growing body of research. However, these studies have not examined how an organization’s position in a broader network impacts its ability to weather decapitation. We argue that highly networked organization... |

Ward, Steven, 2020, "Status from Fighting? Reassessing the Relationship Between Conflict Involvement and Diplomatic Rank", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FBV2D6, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:1EZkutN3Whh4K7wSu7lQFw== [fileUNF]
Recent research has provided evidence that conflict improves a belligerent’s status. I argue that this finding is based on a specification error. The relationship between the CINC index, which is used to control for material capabilities as a potential confounder, and change in diplomatic rank is not linear. Accounting for this non-linearity elimin... |

Steinert, Christoph, 2019, "Trial fairness before impact: Tracing the link between post-conflict trials and peace stability", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YY7XBX, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Mb4rQyD/peV0tNb+Zzc9vg== [fileUNF]
In this study, I investigate the impact of post-conflict trials on peace stability in post-conflict countries. I contend that empirical effects of post-conflict trials are contingent upon the partiality of the proceedings. While impartial trials promote accountability and confidence in the rule of law, partisan trials marginalize opposition forces... |

Kevin Greene; Lucas, Caleb, 2019, "Once More, With Feeling: Using Sentiment Analysis to Improve Models of Relationships Between Non-State Actors", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ADTDEC, Harvard Dataverse, V1
We collect an original corpus of official documents released by Hezbollah and use text analysis to create a measure of their relationships with other non-state groups. Despite recent research that demonstrates these types of relationships affect the length and severity of conflict, data limitations hinder efforts by researchers to capture important... |

Salehyan, Idean; Feinberg, Ayal, 2019, "Merging Actors with Events: Introducing the Social Conflict Analysis Dataset – Organizational Properties (SCAD-OPs)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TVFD2Y, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:X3Vglj5RmnHYYoyfUXUmNg== [fileUNF]
Events data have been instrumental in the study of contentious politics. Yet such data often focus on the attributes of the events themselves— such as the number of participants, fatalities, and location—while providing scant information on those involved. To address this shortcoming, we introduce the Social Conflict Analysis Database— Organization... |
