Natural scientists, social scientists, and the environment
This study uses interviews with 64 Canadian and 65 United States scientists to compare and contrast their perspectives with respect to environmental policy making across borders, both geographic (Canada versus United States) and disciplinary (natural versus social science). The findings indicate that important imbalances remain between Canadian and United States scientists' perceptions about cross-border pollution. There appears to be a great div…
Social Purpose and Militarized Disputes
This study tests whether a government's social purpose helps account for the likelihood of states to engage in militarized disputes. Ruggie has argued that states whose social purpose reflected the `compromise of embedded liberalism' would be more cooperative in their economic relations and would promote the creation of economic regimes which reflected this social purpose. We investigate whether governments which possess this `embedded' liberal s…
Two-Level Security Management and the Prospects for New Democracies
Most new democracies face serious internal, ethnic/separatist conflicts; in addition, some face international threats. The literature on the growth of democracy in the global system and its impact on world politics does not fully account for the dual threats all states must address in managing their security. Based on theoretical work by Starr (1994) which describes the "common logic" of conflict processes in war and revolution, we outline a mode…
Decisionmaking on War and Peace
Extraction, Allocation, and the Rise and Decline of States
Using realist models of international politics that deemphasize the two-level security game that states play, most analyses of hegemonic decline argue that decline is caused by the differential growth of power between hegemons and challenging states. The authors argue that decline is affected highly by states' resource extraction and allocation decisions, and that the international and domestic consequences of these decisions must be analyzed. A …
When sanctions can work
The paradox of economic sanctions is that though they are used with increasing frequency in the post‐cold war world, policy makers and scholars still largely conclude that they do not work to produce political change in targeted countries. This paper uses Steven Brams’ revision of standard game theory, the “theory of moves,” to derive conditions for successful sanctions, failed sanctions, and stalemated sanctions disputes. Then, applying the theo…
Hawks, doves, and civil conflict dynamics
This paper develops a model of the escalation process of civil conflicts. The model is a system of differential equations, based on a population growth model structure. Unlike most models of this type, it treats the state as a rational but binary actor consisting of hawks and doves. The model reveals four underlying escalation dynamics which civil conflicts can take. Using these dynamics and the hawk‐dove dichotomy, the model is analyzed to show …
