Do you think David can win against Goliath? Evidence on factors affecting popular perceptions of victory in Taiwan against Chinese aggression
How do citizens form perceptions of victory in war under power asymmetry? Although scholars have extensively studied the objective determinants of war outcomes, we know far less about how citizens subjectively weigh these factors. We examine this question in Taiwan, a demanding test: extreme power asymmetry with China, an available American patron, and a politically engaged citizenry should maximize the pull of external considerations. A prevaili…
Who would defend Kinmen and Matsu (and what is Wuchiu?)
Since the early 2020s, Chinese paramilitary activities, military drills, and on-water incidents have reopened a question that dominated the early Cold War: whether small Taipei-controlled islands in and around the Taiwan Strait could be a trigger for regional conflict. Yet little is known of how the Taiwanese public view such outlying islands, making it uncertain how Taiwan, the United States, and other regional states might react to contingencie…
Chips and democracy
This article investigates how democratic values and strategic interests shape American public support for military interventions abroad. Using two survey experiments conducted in different contexts of global computer chip supply, we evaluate the relative importance of the regime type of a target country and its semiconductor-manufacturing capability in shaping Americans’ willingness to support military intervention. Our findings indicate that, al…
Strategic partnerships in alliance politics
Since the 1990s, strategic partnerships have emerged as a new foreign policy tool that allows more flexibility in international cooperation. This paper distinguishes strategic partnerships from alliances and alignments by introducing the Global Strategic Partnership dataset. In addition to presenting the trends in their global proliferation, we examine the patterns of strategic partnerships in the top six countries with the most partnership agree…
The impact of situational context and dispositions on costly signals of reassurance
When do costly signals of reassurance enhance trust between nations? While previous research has established the role of dispositions in costly signaling, this paper highlights the critical influence of situational context. Employing an interactionist framework, we theorize that the effectiveness of costly signals depends on the complex interplay between situational contexts, such as crises and non‐crises, and individual dispositions, particularl…
The human cost of war
This paper investigates public attitudes toward types of war casualties. Through a survey experiment, we examine Taiwanese responses to hypothetical scenarios involving casualties among Taiwan's own military, the US military as allies, the Chinese military as enemy combatants, and mainland Chinese civilians. Our paper reveals three findings: first, there is a stronger aversion among Taiwanese citizens to their own military casualties compared wit…
Signaling, interests, and domestic politics
There have been growing calls for a rethink of U.S. policy towards Taiwan. Some argue that the U.S. should signal stronger commitment to Taiwan to deter China and maintain peace. To do so, a growing number of commentators and policymakers advocate that the U.S. provide a clear security guarantee to Taiwan. Others have suggested deploying troops on Taiwanese soil again. These calls beg an empirical question, one central to the study of internation…
War, Rebellion, and Intervention under Hierarchy
What does international hierarchy look like? The emerging literatures on hierarchy and international orders remain overwhelmingly focused on the contemporary era and on the great powers that comprise the top of the hierarchy. This article addresses that gap by examining diplomacy, war, and domestic politics in the premodern Vietnam–China relationship under the hierarchic tributary system. Specifically, we construct a unique data set of over 1,200…
The diffusion of international norms of banknote iconography
Measuring War in Early Modern East Asia, 1368–1841
How much war was there in early modern East Asia? This article empirically corroborates characterizations of relations between Sinic East Asian polities as being unusually peaceful and stable, which we attribute to the participants’ shared subscription to a common and accepted hierarchy framed by a Confucian worldview. More broadly, we provide direct empirical evidence that international hierarchies derive their stability from cultural consensus …
