Finally, in this issue’s data feature, @dovlevin.bsky.social introduces PEIG 2.0, an expanded dataset on #ElectionIntervention. This adds 25.5% more years and 37.4% more cases, mapping interventions from 1946–2014.

Fifth, Ronan Tse-min Fu, Weiwen Yin and Enze Han investigate casualty perceptions in #Taiwan, finding support for military action drops more when scenarios involve #Chinese #CivilianCasualties than Taiwanese #Military losses.

Fourth, David J Tier explores the link between #American civil-military relations and #Military outcomes, finding that healthy discourse aids mission success while poor relations risk failing political objectives.

Third, @ameliegodefroidt.bsky.social and Karin Dyrstad explore how conflict-induced traumas shape support for #TruthCommissions. Using data from #Nepal, #Guatemala and #NorthernIreland, they find a conditional relationship between #Trauma and support for TCs.

Second, Benjamin J Appel and Nathaniel Smith show how #Rainfall shocks increase state #Repression by reducing #FoodProduction. Using causal mediation analysis and data from 1992 to 2015, they find this effect is strongest in #DevelopingCountries.

First, Latife Kınay-Kılıç, Ersel Aydınlı and @efetokdemir.bsky.social investigate how states respond to external support for rebel groups during civil wars, finding that strategic rivalry drives the most severe responses.

While this plot shows some ups and downs, the line of best fit suggests a general upward trend in transnationally co-authored papers. This reflects a growing international community and the value of diverse perspectives in our field. #AcademicPublishing #GlobalResearch

Finally, Andrew Rosenberg & Nazli Avdan assess whether #Border walls stop transnational #Terrorism. Using network analysis of 63 extremist groups, they find walls can inhibit violence but effects vary by group, challenging walls as a catch-all solution.

Fourth, Tsukasa Watanabe & Andrew J Enterline examine when territorial claims lead to #War. Using data on 209 claims in Asia and Oceania, they find those tied to incursions, loss, or independence are the most likely to escalate hostilities.

Studying anti-government broadcasts in #Nepal, they find those exposed were less optimistic about peace, police, and civic activism up to 3 years after the station shut down.

Second, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:l5lb6uzra4tf3bt5dciw3iaf" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky-mention">@courtenaymonroe.bsky.social, Nathan W Monroe & Shengkuo Hu question how #UNGA votes reveal state preferences. They find procedural context matters, with committee amendment votes yielding clearer insights, especially for states away from the policy centre.

First, Pamp, Thurner, Binder & Mehltretter <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:vol2rwg6fy2kqptfxdfdddv6" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky-mention">@tum.de‬ ask if more weapons in #Rebel hands escalate #CivilWar violence. Using data on 270 rebel groups, they find better-armed rebels only fight higher-intensity conflicts if they receive no external support.

This not only reflects the importance of teamwork in advancing research, but also the potential for broader perspectives and methodologies. Stay tuned for our next update, which will examine a rising trend in transnationally co-authored papers.
#Diversity #Peace #Publishing

This plot shows that the number of co-authored articles is increasingly surpassing single-authored pieces. This trend highlights a growing academic community engaged in collaborative research.

Follow this page for future updates as we shift focus from geographic diversity to other statistics related to published articles at CMPS. #Diversity #Peace #Publishing #ConflictStudies #InclusiveResearch

This trend points to broadening diversity in peace science and growing international interest in CMPS. Notably, this plot also reveals that for three of the last four volumes, at least half of the articles featured authors based outside of the United States.

Check out the whole issue here, and stay tuned for our next issue in July! In the meantime, follow for more insights from our ongoing series on CMPS submission and acceptance data.
