Estancona, Chelsea; Bird, Lucia; Hinkkainen, Kaisa; Bapat, Navin proxy, 2019, "Civilian Self-Defense Militias in Civil War", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BJX91O, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:TZDv48W25H2f56yM3ZFDEQ== [fileUNF]
To mitigate the costs associated with suppressing rebellion, states may rely on civilian self-defense militias to protect their territory from rebel groups. However, this decision is also costly, given that these self-defense groups may undermine control of its territory. This raises the question: why do governments cultivate self-defense militias... |

Thomas Oatley; Robert Galantucci, 2018, "Replication Data for: The Dollar and the Demand for Protection", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/85ZEPY, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Postwar trade politics in the US have exhibited intermittent periods of rising industry demands for protection from imports. At present, however, we don’t fully understand why industry demands for protection rise and fall over time. We argue that intermittent protectionism in postwar US has been driven by changes in the real exchange rate. To do so... |

J. Tyson Chatagnier, 2018, "Replication Data for: Civil War Mediation and Integration into Global Value Chains", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TMB5YV, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:zvl6exBPrAT0UjxI3ogYbA== [fileUNF]
How does the globalization of production affect interstate behavior? While scholars have paid significant attention to the effect of global value chains on trade and political economy, there has been substantially less focus on the interaction between globalized production and conflict behavior. However, the changing economic landscape has the pote... |

Barbara F. Walter, 2018, "Replication Data for: Explaining the Number of Rebel Groups in Civil Wars", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/OYORNJ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:e1WKgqMBbZznu9Z87Jmv/Q== [fileUNF]
Why do multiple rebel groups form in some civil wars but not others? Since 1946, only half of all civil wars were fought by a single rebel group; the rest were fought by multiple groups. This article argues that this variation is determined by the incentives political entrepreneurs have to enter a war. The higher the demand for political change and... |

Oguzhan Turkoglu; Thomas Chadefaux, 2018, "Replication Data for: Nowhere to Go: Why do Some Civil Wars Generate More Refugees than Others?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UVTZZV, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:DTgZ3Fxm062K/eo/K+Vd9w== [fileUNF]
Civil wars greatly vary in the number of refugees they generate, ranging from zero to over six millions in a given conflict. Work on this variation has largely focused on ‘push’ factors—deleterious attributes of the home country that lead to refugee flows, such as violence and repression. Yet, few have studied the importance of ‘pull’ factors—attra... |
Konstantin Ash, 2018, "Replication Data for: `The War Will Come to Your Street': Explaining Geographic Variation in Terrorism by Rebel Groups", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/DCYDHS, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:etEhVd4xUC8xKkHzaqLHQA== [fileUNF]
Geographic variation in rebels’ use of terrorism is not well understood. This article ex- plains the use of terrorism in civil conflict through examining geographic variation in terrorist attacks across first-level administrative regions. Two explanations are tested using data on 47 groups in 21 countries: that terrorism is intended to punish suppo... |

Justin Schon; Yehuda Magid, 2018, "Replication Data for: Introducing the African Relational Pro-Government Militia (PGM) Dataset", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AWPDFW, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This paper introduces the African Relational Pro-Government Militia Dataset (RPGMD). Recent research has improved our understandings of how pro-government forces form, under what conditions they are most likely to act, and how they affect the risk of internal conflict, repression, and state fragility. In this paper, we give an overview of our datas... |

DiGiuseppe, Matthew; Kleinberg, Katja, 2018, "Replication Data for: Economics, Security, and Individual-level Preferences for Trade Agreements", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0HST44, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:80RbLaNOyweH6Rb9m67J8A== [fileUNF]
Empirical research on the determinants of individual-level support for trade liberalization has focused almost entirely on the economic effects of trade. Yet international relations scholarship has long recognized that commerce also has a variety of security implications. This paper explores if and when security considerations influence individual... |

Rebecca Cordell, 2018, "Replication Data for: Security-Civil Liberties Trade-offs: International Cooperation in Extraordinary Rendition", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RTB67K, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:SpBOhSCFBEw3+uCu6wMTeQ== [fileUNF]
Following the launch of the WoT, the US established a global rendition network that saw the transfer of CIA terrorist suspects to secret detention sites across the world. Conventional accounts of foreign complicity show that 54 diverse countries were involved, including many established democracies. What determined more than a quarter of the world’... |

Ore Koren, 2018, "Replication Data for: Food, State Power, and Rebellion: The Case of Maize", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/N9TTIA, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Why do rebellions occur and persist in some countries but not in others? Evidence shows that natural resources affect the fighting capacity of rebel groups, yet by focusing on lucrative resources that are rare in most rebellion-afflicted countries, such as oil and diamonds, scholars neglected one necessary input for rebellion: staple crops. Focusin... |
