Bryan Rooney, 2018, "Replication Data for: Sources of Leader Support and Interstate Rivalry", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/5WNUK2, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:kwJdn27WFualKfnX3BukJg== [fileUNF]
Since segments of the selectorate differentially experience costs and benefits from rivalry, the foreign policy choices of leaders reflect these domestic preferences. As a result, shifts in the composition of the domestic coalition of support backing the leader provide a fundamental determinant of rivalry termination. While previous research (Benne... |

Nina von Uexkull; Therese Pettersson, 2018, "Replication Data for: Issues and Actors in African Non-State Conflicts: A new Dataset", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/IEFDSE, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:RM1yzk1JufcrkPoU5XXcug== [fileUNF]
Armed non-state conflict without the direct involvement of the state government is a common phenomenon. Violence between armed gangs, rebel groups or communal militias is an important source of instability and has gained increasing scholarly attention. In this article, we introduce a data collection on conflict issues and key actor characteristics... |
Nam Kyu Kim, 2018, "International Conflict, International Security Environment, and Military Coups", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GBNGDF, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:kzbvZBvpsUAn0qOMzh4B9g== [fileUNF]
Why do some countries repeatedly experience military coups while others seem immune? Are countries more prone to military coups when faced with external threats? The answers to these questions still remain contested: While several scholars hold that countries facing external threats are more vulnerable to coups, others argue that such countries are... |

Hakan Gunaydin, 2018, "Replication Data for: Who Can Reform the Labor Market? IMF Conditionality, Partisanship and Labor Unions", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YKTVMS, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:kwJdn27WFualKfnX3BukJg== [fileUNF]
Labor market reforms are critical for economic growth. Yet, they are politically contentious and governments, more often than not, are faced with strong opposition from interest groups. Scholarly work shows that governments often rely on external intervention to implement politically difficult reforms. This is the case with the IMF which typically... |
Shahryar Minhas; Karen Remmer, 2018, "Replication Data for: The Reputational Impact of Investor-State Disputes", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EHRNTO, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:oSXiEikKSxbIgK+o3o4LiQ== [fileUNF]
To what extent do alleged violations of international commitments damage state reputation? This paper explores this question with specific reference to investor-state disputes arising under the protection of interna- tional investment agreements. Its main contributions are threefold. First, building on the political institutions literature, the stu... |
Matthew S. Wells; Timothy J. Ryan, 2018, "Following the Party In Time of War? The Implications of Elite Consensus", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RAV9OA, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:sls6w4Zx3Oay9P/SKMN/kg== [fileUNF]
Prominent perspectives in the study of conflict point to two factors that exert substantial influence on public opinion about foreign intervention: 1) news about casualties and 2) signals from partisan elites. Past work is limited, however, in what it can say about how these two factors interact. We present an experiment designed to understand the... |

Lisa Lechner; Simon Wüthrich, 2018, "Replication Data for: Seal the Deal: Bargaining Positions, Institutional Design and the Duration of Preferential Trade Negotiations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/C8FMWZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:dOA42unQ0WTBbv6pLg8/Yw== [fileUNF]
Multilateral negotiations at the World Trade Organization have stalled. This has contributed to a steep rise in preferential trade agreements (PTAs). At the same time, negotiations for PTAs have not always proven quick and painless: While some treaties are sealed within a few months or days only, other agreements are preceded by protracted bargaini... |

Muhammet Bas; Orsun Omer; Robert Schub, 2018, "Replication Data for: Accounting for Extra-Dyadic Sources of International Outcomes", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GKYOCZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Gjf9961G8me++kTKXMsTkA== [fileUNF]
Leaders consider the broader international landscape when making foreign policy choices. This landscape could encompass a single external actor, the local region, or even the whole international system. Quantitative analyses of international outcomes, however, frequently do not account for this broader context. This study suggests a corrective, ill... |
Johannes Karreth, 2018, "The Economic Leverage of International Organizations in Interstate Disputes", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TQYWJR, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:qw1be4Ig+xhrddrVTtVGMQ== [fileUNF]
Addressing a long-standing debate in international relations scholarship, this study shows that international governmental organizations (IGOs) with high economic leverage over their member states, such as some development banks, substantially lower the risk that political disputes experience the use of military force. Empirical tests covering case... |
Tyson Roberts, 2018, "Economic Policy, Political Constraints, and Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FOWP6Q, Harvard Dataverse, V1
As foreign direct investment (FDI) has become increasingly important in the world economy, a large body of literature has emerged regarding the determinants of FDI flows. Some scholars argue that democracy attracts FDI through the mechanism of political constraints, which reduce the risk of negative policy changes. However, the value of policy stab... |
