Reshuffling and Regime Change Coups in Dictatorships
No full textThis data introduces an important distinction to the coup literature, differentiating between reshuffling coups, which change the leader atop a regime but leave the regime structure intact, and regime change coups, which change the leader and lead to a new autocratic regime. Data on both attempted and successful coups from 1970-2010 is available. Below you can download the data, codebook, as well as descriptions of each case and the rationale for our coding decision.
This version of the data is used in “Terrorism and the Fate of Dictators”, published in World Politics with Deniz Aksoy and Joe Wright. Please cite the following paper if you use this data:

Terrain ruggedness and land cover: Improved data for most research designs
No full textExisting arguments about the effect of terrain on intrastate and interstate violence are more varied than the data sources widely used to test such relationships. We introduce precise geo-referenced data on terrain ruggedness and land cover globally at the national, provincial, and 1× 1 km grid-square levels. Accordingly, the data are readily applicable to a wide range of research designs, including cross-national, sub-national and single-country designs, as well as any study that uses geographic information system data. A full description of this data and demonstration of its utility are contained in a Conflict Management and Peace Science article by Andrew Shaver, David Carter, and T.S. Shawa

Replication Data for: Systemic Instability and the Emergence of Border Disputes
No full textAlthough much evidence shows that territorial disputes fundamentally shape relations among states, we know surprisingly little about when territorial claims are made. We argue that revisionist states have incentives to make territorial claims when the great powers that manage the system are in crisis. We identify five main sources of systemic instability and develop measures of each of them, demonstrating that the majority of territorial claims in Europe are drawn at times when regional great powers are embroiled in crisis, e.g., 1848 or 1870 during the 19th century. Importantly, the claims that emerge at these times are not necessarily among states involved in the crises that generated turmoil in the system, e.g., Prussia and France in 1870. Moreover, we use a newly developed spatial measure of historical boundary precedents in Europe from 1650-1790 to demonstrate that the effect of this known spatial correlate of where claims are drawn only matters when the European system is in crisis. We further demonstrate that this pattern of claim-timing is general to the global system of states. Finally, we corroborate our explanation of our findings with a detailed case study of the territorial claims that led to the formation of the contemporary Italian state
