Stabilising transitions from conflict: The importance of transitional decision-making procedures
A large body of scholarship has analysed how the content of a negotiated settlement might impact the potential for conflict resolution or recurrence, focusing largely on the institutional design of transitional power-sharing formulas. To date, however, variation in procedures for joint decision-making within such institutions has not been investigated, nor has the effect that such choices might have on the stability and progress of settlement imp…
Political power sharing in post-conflict democracies: Investigating Effects on Vertical and Horizontal Accountability
While it may be necessary to secure elite buy-in to peaceful competition, the literature is pessimistic about the long-term effects of a power-sharing settlement on the quality of democracy. Designing institutions to guarantee political inclusion is commonly thought to undermine vertical and horizontal accountability by incentivizing rent-seeking over responsiveness to voters. This study employs data from the Varieties of Democracy project to tes…
Causal Pathways of Rebel Defection from Negotiated Settlements: A Theory of Strategic Alliances
While it is widely accepted that negotiated settlements are prone to breakdown, our understanding of the processes through which signatories defect lacks precision. A growing qualitative literature recognizes the potential for rebel group fluidity, yet the conflict field’s converging reliance on dyadic data obscures pathways of defection that result in splintering or merger in quantitative studies. An in-depth case study of a failed peace process…
Power-sharing, conflict resolution, and the logic of pre-emptive defection
Conclusions about the potential for peace via power-sharing are mixed. For some, power-sharing does little to overcome the commitment problem characterizing a transition from conflict, while others argue that such concessions provide signals of parties' willingness to incur costs. This article develops and tests a new theory, aiming to shed light on the mechanisms through which power-sharing bargains help to overcome the commitment problem. I arg…
Linking Contexts, Intersectionality, and Generations: Toward a Multidimensional Theory of Millennials and Social Change
While millennials are culturally homogenized as a unitary group, scholarly work has examined the complex historical, economic, and social challenges that shape millennials' heterogeneity. This paper draws on three studies to build on this work, showing how millennials experience and enact social change across different spaces: beauty politics and the natural hair movement, black men shaping new masculinities at work and home, and undocumented stu…
Just Because I Dance like a Ho I’m Not a Ho”: Cheerleading at the Intersection of Race, Class, and Gender
Feminist sociologists of sport have critiqued cheerleading for perpetuating gendered divisions of labor and dismissing women’s athleticism. However, no research has centered the experiences of black college cheerleaders or cheerleaders with formal feminist education. Through ethnography and interviews with cheerleaders who attend a historically black college (HBCU) for women, this research reveals how race, class, gender, and ideological perspect…
