Daniel Y. Kono, 2007, "Replication data for: When Do Trade Blocs Block Trade?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/3U6XTH, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:ZlpiqVqQ4JNTsJ0FcAxeTw== [fileUNF]
Because the gains from international cooperation typically rise with the number of countries involved, the ideal international agreement is often multilateral. In practice, however, the modal agreement is not multilateral but regional or bilateral. The prevalence of "minilateralism" begs the question: Do minilateral agreements help or hinder multil... |

Karen A. Rasler; William R. Thompson, 2007, "Replication data for: Contested Territory, Strategic Rivalries and Conflict Escalation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CZJ6W6, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:sM/6VISEcu3eu+jF3hsarQ== [fileUNF]
After bringing together independent information on contested territory, rivalries, and conflict escalation (militarized interstate disputes (MIDs) and war), we examine the timing of the temporal ordering of these three processes. Contrary to conventional expectations, we find the contested territory-militarized dispute-rivalry ordering to be rare.... |
John R. O'Neal; Jaroslav Tir, 2007, "Replication data for: Does the Diversionary Use of Force Threaten the Democratic Peace? Assessing the Effect of Economic Growth on Interstate Conflict, 1921- 2001", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SKVGMK, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:atUf7qXBVVxNHWmGnkU9tg== [fileUNF]
A democratic leader, anticipating a ‘‘rally ‘round the flag effect,’’ may have an incentive to divert attention from domestic economic problems by becoming involved in military conflict abroad, undermining Immanuel Kant’s prescription for ‘‘perpetual peace.’’ We assess the risk to the democratic peace by evaluating this diversionary incentive withi... |
Gary King; Langche Zeng, 2007, "Replication data for: When Can History Be Our Guide? The Pitfalls of Counterfactual Inference", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9L6A8X, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Inferences about counterfactuals are essential for prediction, answering “what if” questions, and estimating causal effects. However, when the counterfactuals posed are too far from the data at hand, conclusions drawn from well-specified statistical analyses become based on speculation and convenient but indefensible model assumptions rather than e... |
J. Michael Greig; Paul F. Diehl, 2007, "Replication data for: The Peacekeeping–Peacemaking Dilemma", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ULCOWM, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:oVbsqcnK+z2kV9HsofMEgg== [fileUNF]
Peacekeeping has become an increasingly prominent tool for conflict management and there has been an accompanying explosion of scholarly studies on peacekeeping. Yet, such analyses typically ignore the process of getting a peace agreement itself, missing the potential impact that a peacekeeping force might have in facilitating a peace agreement bet... |

Bethany Lacina; Nils Petter Gleditsch; Bruce Russett, 2007, "Replication data for: The Declining Risk of Death in Battle", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TBNTNQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:BG6P914kpf+cgt8p4wJe0w== [fileUNF]
A recent article using the new Correlates of War (COW) data on the distribution of interstate, intrastate, and extrastate wars from 1816 to 1997 claims there was a relatively constant risk of death in battle during that time. We show that the authors' information is skewed by irregularities in the COW deaths data, and contest their pessimistic inte... |

Kenneth C. Shadlen; Andrew Schrank; Marcus J. Kurtz, 2007, "Replication data for: The Political Economy of Intellectual Property Protection: The Case of Software", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CSWSUT, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:k2Jnvqu2AbhwyLbuuYQFlg== [fileUNF]
The end of the twentieth century was marked by a sea change in global governance in the realm of intellectual property rights (IPRs). Whereas countries historically retained substantial autonomy with regard to what they defined as intellectual “property” and the rights granted to the owners of intellectual property, the 1990s witnessed the establis... |

Mark J. Mullenbach, 2007, "Replication data for: Deciding to Keep Peace: An Analysis of International Influences on the Establishment of Third-Party Peacekeeping Missions", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/KH3PEG, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:iqwHVQ9pOEtKV1IBcGHMsA== [fileUNF]
Since the end of World War II, and particularly since the end of the Cold War, there has been an expansion in the number of third-party peacekeeping missions established throughout the world. Most of the expansion in peacekeeping missions in the past decade or so has occurred in states experiencing intrastate or civil conflicts. The questions addre... |

Jonathan W. Keller, 2007, "Replication data for: Leadership Style, Regime Type, and Foreign Policy Crisis Behavior: A Contingent Monadic Peace?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ALOHVQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:/eyMZ7nGo1xYLzEcA1pF9g== [fileUNF]
While a substantial body of theory suggests that democracies should behave peacefully toward all states (monadically), most empirical evidence indicates they are only pacific in their relations with fellow democracies (dyadically). A new theoretical synthesis suggests that the missing link between democratic constraints and pacific monadic behavior... |

James Ron; Howard Ramos; Kathleen Rodgers, 2007, "Replication data for: Transnational Information Politics: NGO Human Rights Reporting, 1986-2000", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UE5HBI, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:3:HgU9E74etXma7GPxUbZpgQ== [fileUNF]
What shapes the transnational activist agenda? Do non-governmental organizations with a global mandate focus on the world's most pressing problems, or is their reporting also affected by additional considerations? To address these questions, we study the determinants of country reporting by an exemplary transnational actor, Amnesty International, d... |
