Unipolarity and the increasing frequency of US military intervention
Ever since the end of the Cold War, scholars have debated whether unipolar international systems promote peace or foster conflict. Yet decades later, the empirics of this question remain underexplored, as the debate has mostly been addressed from a theoretical perspective. We advance this debate by systematically comparing the frequency of US military interventions abroad during the bipolar Cold War (1945–1990) and the unipolar post-Cold War era …
Selective humanitarians: How Region and Conflict Perception Drive Military Interventions in Intrastate Crises
Why are some violent intrastate crises more likely to prompt humanitarian military interventions than others? States appear to intervene robustly in reaction to some internal conflicts, such as Kosovo, but withhold similar options in more intense conflict, as in Darfur. Much of the research on this 'selectivity gap' focuses on universal norms or geopolitical interests. I, however, argue that the selectivity of these interventions is a product of …
Dying by the Sword: The Militarization of US Foreign Policy
Through a historical and data-driven review of the United States’ dominant foreign policy trends from 1776 until today, Dying by the Sword argues that since the end of the Cold War and especially post-9/11, the United States has initiated higher rates of military interventions, drastically escalating its usage of force abroad. Lacking clear national strategic goals, the United States now pursues a security whack-a-mole policy, more reactionary th…
Introducing the Military Intervention Project: A New Dataset on US Military Interventions, 1776–2019
While scholars have made many claims about US military interventions, they have not come to a consensus on main trends and consequences. This article introduces a new, comprehensive dataset of all US military interventions since the country’s founding, alongside over 200 variables that allow scholars to evaluate theoretical propositions on drivers and outcomes of intervention. It compares the new Military Intervention Project (MIP) dataset to the…
Issue framing within the climate debate: An analysis of US environmental policy outcomes
This paper argues different policy issue framings of climate change-ranging from security to energy, economics, humanitarian response, and health frames-play critical roles in altering policy outcomes. Specifically, we focus on the several windows of opportunity that altered the pathway of the US climate change debates from 1985 to 2017. Progressing from the underpinnings of issue framing literature and public policy discourse, we conduct content…
Gendered costs of austerity: The effects of welfare regime and government policies on employment across the OECD, 2000–13
This article proposes a thorough analysis of the gendered impact of government policies applied during the Great Recession on unemployment across 28 OECD countries following an empirical estimation using random effects modelling with data from 2000 to 2013 to test the influence of welfare systems. Results point to a significant effect of welfare regime even beyond the crisis, primarily through social expenditure levels and public sector employmen…
