Who Benefits from Costa Rica's Climate Change Response Policies
국제사회는 기후변화에 대응하기 위해 다양한 정책과 제도를 시행하고 있다. 그러나 저탄소 사회로의 전환은 지속 가능한 성장의 기회인 동시에 사회갈등을 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구는 대표적인 산림환경 국가인 코스타리카 사례를 통해 탄소중립 과정에서 이해당사자들의 실질적 참여를 보장하여 사회갈등을 최소화하는 방안을 탐구한다. 특히 코스타리카 정부의 산림정책을 중심으로, 탄소중립 달성 과정에서 발생한 경제·사회적 편익의 분배 과정을 구체적으로 분석하였다. 코스타리카는 1990년대 중반 이후 환경서비스 지불제와 생태관광 정책을 통해 산림 보존과 재조림을 촉진하고, 대규모 농장주뿐만 아니라 소규모 농장주와 원주민 공동체에도 경제적 혜택을 제공했다. 생태관광의 활성화는 지역사회 발전과 교육 접근성 개선에 기여하며, 사회적 불평등 해소에도 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 코스타리카의 사례는 탄소중립이 비용이 아닌 지속 …
Introducing Reblex: A new dataset on rebel leaders in exile
Ethyl acetate fraction of Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus and its triterpenoids suppress proliferation and survival of colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting NF-κB and COX2
Double-Edged Sword? The Impact of Online Misogyny on Female College Students’ Digital Activism in the Post-Covid-19 Era
Using original surveys to investigate how online gender-based harassment marginalizes or empowers female college students, we found increased exposure to misogyny polarizes digital participation. Women aware of gender inequality in Korea encountering online hate speech were more inclined to engage in online movements, unlike women who did not recognize such inequality. This highlights distinct opportunities in relation to digital activism, showin…
The Conditional Effects of Natural Disasters on Public Approval of the President
Do natural disasters affect presidential approval ratings? In this study, we argue that in South Korea this relationship is conditional on regional partisan cleavages. Since partisanship induces perceptual biases among distinct social groups, we expect that (1) the president’s co-partisans will not blame their president even if the government fails to prevent or mitigate damage from natural disasters, and (2) human and economic losses from disast…
Cash-based aid and civil war violence: New evidence from Myanmar (2012–2020)
Why do some aid projects in conflict environments improve the welfare of local communities and reduce insurgent violence, whereas other projects place them in greater danger? This study investigates this question by testing the effects of aid projects on the intensity of civil war using subnational data on violence and service provision in Myanmar (2012–2020). We find that small-scale, cash-based aid projects significantly reduce battlefield viol…
Inclusive conflict? Competitive clientelism and the rise of political violence
Conflict across African states has often been linked to ethnic-based biases in government, and exclusive policies. However, the domestic politics of developing states, and the elites who contest for power therein, have often been overlooked when explaining the patterns and risk of disorder and violence. We consider how African leaders practice politics in whom to represent, and at what level. These choices have consequences as how regimes accommo…
Are smart sanctions smart enough? An inquiry into when leaders oppress civilians under UN targeted sanctions
Why do some UN targeted sanctions (or “smart” sanctions) cause collateral damage to the general population, while others minimize it? We suggest the scope and the effectiveness of smart sanctions, as well as the political institutions of target countries, are critical determinants of sanctions’ adverse effects on human rights. Leaders targeted by sanctions with a broad scope will have a greater incentive to oppress people to ward off potential su…
The geography of regime support and political violence
In this article, we investigate how the political geography of local power and national-subnational alignment influences the distribution of conflict between election contests. We ask how consistently local intermediaries, such as members of parliament (MPs), can sustain their own support and that of their successful national candidate. The best measure for the ability of local elites to generate and keep support is candidate vote margins. These …
Enigmas of grievances about inequality: Effects of attitudes toward inequality and government redistribution on protest participation
This study explores the multifaceted calculus behind engagement in protests using data from 45 countries in the World Values Survey Wave 6 (2010–2014), employing a hierarchical linear model. It expands the current scholarship on protest politics by investigating how individual subjective assessment and evaluation of income inequality, and redistributive preferences influence participation in protests. We found that protest is a powerful outlet us…
Coup, riot, war: How political institutions and ethnic politics shape alternative forms of political violence
This article explores how different types of governance systems shape different forms of political violence. We identify four governance types by combining the “institutional” dimension of coalition size represented by a minimum winning coalition (MWC) and the “ethno-political” dimension represented by the size of ethnic groups participating in the governing coalition. This study hypothesizes that (a) an exclusive system (small MWC; narrow-based …

Autocracy, Religious Restriction, and Religious Civil War
This article illuminates the relationship between level of religious restriction and the onset of religious civil war in the context of autocracy. That is, we investigate how autocrats' religious restriction accounts for religious civil war. We hypothesize that in autocracies, moderate religious restriction is likely to engender religious civil war (Hypothesis 1), policy change from religious laissez-faire to moderate restriction raises the proba…
Conflict Dynamics and Feedback: Explaining Change in Violence against Civilians within Conflicts
Conflicts are complex, dynamic processes wherein the frequency and intensity of violence changes throughout the contest. In this article, we explore the temporal dynamics of two long-term civil wars—DR-Congo and Sudan—to identify systematic and random conditions that lead to changes in civilian targeting. Violence committed by rival political actors, territorial exchange, and the number and addition of violent agents strongly shape the likelihood…
The devil is in the details: An investigation of the relationships between conflict, food price and climate across Africa
This study investigates the relationship between violent conflict, food price, and climate variability at the subnational level. Using disaggregated data on 113 African markets from January 1997 to April 2010, interrelationships between the three variables are analyzed in simultaneous equation models. We find that: (i) a positive feedback exists between food price and violence - higher food prices increase conflict rates within markets and confli…
Dominant Forms of Conflict in Changing Political Systems
Our article analyzes how transitioning political institutions create incentives and disincentives for opposition groups to incite different forms of political violence. We argue that variation on two specific parameters of governance—checks and balances and political participation—compels states toward one of the three forms of conflict, including civil wars, political militia, and riots. Using disaggregated data on different types of political v…
How Ethnic Exclusion Influences Rebellion and Leader Survival: A Simulation Approach
This study extends selectorate theory in the form of an agent-based model to explore how the leader’s ethnic policy—ethnic exclusion or inclusion—influences the risk of rebellion and leader survival in different sizes of the minimum winning coalition. The theoretical simulation shows that when the minimum winning coalition is small, (1) highly exclusive leaders not only survive longer in power but also face a lower risk of violent removal from of…
Three Two Tango: Territorial Control and Selective Violence in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza
This article extends the formal logic of Stathis Kalyvas’ theory of selective violence to account for three political actors with asymmetric capabilities. In contrast to Kalyvas’ theory, the authors’ computer simulation suggests that (1) selective violence by the stronger actor will be concentrated in areas where weaker actors exercise control; (2) the relative level of selective violence used by weaker actors will be lower because of a reduced c…
Violence and Control in Civil Conflict: Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza
What explains the use of selective and indiscriminate violence in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza from 1987 to 2005? Using micro-level data, an aggregated analysis indicates that areas of dominant but incomplete territorial control consistently experience more frequent and intense episodes of selective violence, providing support for Stathis Kalyvas's theory on the logic of civil violence. Disaggregating the analysis by each zone of control and p…
Fueling Crisis or Cooperation? The Geopolitics of Energy Security in Northeast Asia
Northeast Asia's rapid economic growth in the past two decades tremendously impacted the region's oil and natural gas consumption and its dependence on nonregional energy supplies. Growing energy demand is a preeminent security issue for Northeast Asia because of its distinctive energy vulnerabilities and geopolitical location. The author analyzes the implications of energy security for regional conflict and cooperation among China, Japan, and So…
Incubation and the Resolution of Tip-of-the-Tongue States
Are tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) states better resolved by persistent retrieval efforts, or does an incubation period, i.e., a time away from memory attempts, facilitate resolution? General knowledge questions were given to participants twice, with the retest given either immediately after the participant's first attempt to answer the question, or after a period of incubation during which the participant answered other unrelated questions. When questi…
