Carey, Sabine C.; Colaresi, Michael P.; Mitchell, Neil J., 2017, "Risk Mitigation, Regimes Security, and Militias: Beyond Coup-proofing", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/N6M2OQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1
In Thailand, India, Libya, and elsewhere, governments arm the populace or call up volunteers in irregular armed groups despite the risks this entails. The widespread presence of these militias, outside the context of state failure, challenges the expectation that governments uniformly consolidate the tools of violence. Drawing on the logic of deleg... |
Kaplow, Jeffrey M., 2017, "The Negotiation Calculus: Why Parties to Civil Conflict Refuse to Talk", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/4O4R79, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Why do some parties to intrastate conflict refuse to negotiate? I propose a simple theory of civil conflict in which the act of negotiation itself carries costs and benefits. Several hypotheses follow: parties to civil conflict will avoid negotiation when they (1) fear alienating external supporters or internal constituencies, (2) risk granting leg... |

Scott Wolford; Emily Hencken Ritter, 2017, "National Leaders, Political Security, and the Formation of Military Coalitions", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KFA3YG, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:lAzwLwjPQXiq6hdxxyzoiQ== [fileUNF]
States frequently form military coalitions, and these collaborations matter a great deal for international politics, yet their origins are poorly understood. Building coalitions in international crises improves military prospects. At the same time, it requires policy concessions to compensate partners. We show that a national leader’s job security... |

Mark J. C. Crescenzi; Kelly M. Kadera, 2017, "Built to Last: Understanding the Link between Democracy and Conflict in the International System", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MGWE8C, Harvard Dataverse, V1
We revisit Gartzke and Weisiger's (2014) claim that development and dyadic difference, rather than democracy or a strong democratic community, drive peace and conflict in the international system. In so doing, we identify important inconsistencies in their theoretical argument. We also find extensive instability and errors in their empirical tests.... |
Adrian Florea, 2017, "De Facto States: Survival and Disappearance (1945–2011)", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JLNWM8, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Tir2YSEN0UL5ae6X9M8a8Q== [fileUNF]
De facto states—polities, such as Abkhazia (Georgia) or the Donetsk People’s Republic (Ukraine), that appropriate many trappings of statehood without securing the status of full states—have been a constant presence in the postwar international order. Some de facto states, such as Northern Cyprus, survive for a long period of time. Others, including... |
Matthew Fuhrmann; Yonatan Lupu, 2017, "Do Arms Control Treaties Work? Assessing the Effectiveness of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/D4UHIQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1
How do international arms control treaties influence state policies? This article investigates this question by analyzing the efficacy of the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Despite fierce debate over the last several decades, scholars still lack a full understanding of whether or not the treaty “works.” This debate persists, in part, becaus... |

Using Zogby International polling data from seven different Arab nations (Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) this paper offers a societal-level quantitative analysis (N=91 dyads) of the determinants of Arab public opinion toward 13 different non-Arab countries (Canada, China, France, Germany, India,... |
