Democracy Manifest or Democracy Latent? A Unified Framework for Identifying Regime Types and Transitions
Regime types and transitions are central to a wide range of political phenomena. Reflecting this importance, prior research has produced a variety of regime measures. This diversity, however, comes with important challenges for applied research: selecting a measure among many options, having to define regime categories based on cut-offs, identifying regime transitions by specific magnitudes of change over a specific time window and dealing with m…
Regime Uncertainty and Interstate Conflict
Regime type is an important variable in international relations. Numerous scholars have theorized its effects on actors’ crisis behavior and outcomes. Despite regime type's importance, the literature has not focused on the role its uncertainty might play in interstate politics. This is in stark contrast to the scholarly attention given to uncertainty about other similarly important variables like actor capabilities, intentions, or fighting costs.…
Accounting for Extra-Dyadic Sources of International Outcomes
Leaders consider the broader international landscape when making foreign policy choices. This landscape could encompass a single external actor, the local region, or even the whole international system. Quantitative analyses of international outcomes, however, frequently do not account for this broader context. This study suggests a corrective, illustrating the value of incorporating extra-dyadic variables into analyses with dyadic and monadic ou…
Democratization in Conflict Research
Using the debate over democratization and conflict, we demonstrate how the connection between conceptualization and operationalization can play a decisive role in testing falsifiable hypotheses. We discuss seven different operationalizations of regime change based on three different conceptualizations of democracy. Although we find high correlations between different measures of democracy, when they are used to capture regime change, the correlat…
Why some countries are immune from the resource curse
The political resource curse - the detrimental effect of natural resource dependence on democracy - is a well-established correlate of authoritarianism. A long-standing puzzle, however, is why some countries seem to be immune from it. We address this issue systematically by distinguishing two kinds of economies: contract-intensive, where individuals normally obtain their incomes in the marketplace; and clientelist, where individuals normally obta…
