Replication Data for: Causal pathways of rebel defection from negotiated settlements: A theory of strategic alliances
No full textWhile it is widely accepted that negotiated settlements are prone to breakdown, our understanding of the processes through which signatories defect lacks precision. A growing qualitative literature recognizes the potential for rebel group fluidity, yet the conflict field’s converging reliance on dyadic data obscures pathways of defection that result in splintering or merger in quantitative studies. An in-depth case study of a failed peace process in Uganda—which is misclassified in the extant data—helps to illustrate the ways in which excluded groups can lower the opportunity cost of defection for splintering factions, resulting in a strategic alliance. I test the generalizability of this argument against the full sample of rebel parties to settlements in Sub-Saharan Africa (1975–2015) using a large-N qualitative analysis of causal process observations (CPOs). The aggregated results provide strong evidence that the defection-by-alliance pathway is much more prevalent than previously recognized, accounting for more than one-third of all defections in the sample. Where settlements create shared incentives for stakeholders inside and outside the peace process to spoil, rebel elites appear more willing to bear the costs of an alliance with a rival, rather than surrendering under adverse conditions
Replication Data for: Political Power Sharing in Post-conflict Democracies: Investigating effects on vertical and horizontal accountability
No full textWhile it may be necessary to secure elite buy-in to peaceful competition, the literature
is pessimistic about the long-term effects of a power-sharing settlement on the quality
of democracy. Designing institutions to guarantee political inclusion is commonly
thought to undermine vertical and horizontal accountability by incentivising rent-seeking
over responsiveness to voters. This study employs data from the Varieties
of Democracy project to test arguments about the pernicious institutional effects of
political power-sharing settlements in post-conflict democracies, relying on a panel
dataset of 28 conflict-prone states in Sub-Saharan Africa since the onset of
democracy’s Third Wave (1990–2021). The analytical technique is a time-series
linear regression distinguishing between upturns and downturns across a range of
continuous measures of accountability (Teorell, Determinants of Democratization). The results show that, in line with much of the literature, political power-sharing
settlements are associated with increasing executive corruption and fewer
improvements in the rule of law. However, none of the other proposed
mechanisms linking political power sharing to poor accountability outcomes finds
consistent or significant support in the cross-national sample. Overall, these
findings suggest that the relatively undemocratic institutional concessions designed
to resolve conflict may not pose the serious barrier to democratic deepening and
consolidation as previously assumed
Interview with Emma Johnson (Class of 2014), Chelsea Shaffer (Class of 2014), and Hannah Tennent (Class of 2014) with Emma Kellogg
No full textEmma Johnson (Class of 2014), Chelsea Shaffer (Class of 2014), and Hannah Tennent (Class of 2014) describe their memories of meeting one another as first year roommates in Coleman Hall. Johnson, Shaffer, and Tennent discuss their on-campus jobs as well as various extracurricular activities, including the Generous Enthusiasts, the Judicial Board, and the Outing Club, respectively. The three reminisce about some of their most impactful courses in departments like Anthropology, Earth and Oceanographic Science, and Visual Arts. They reflect on cultural conversations happening on campus during their tenure and mention hazing, the Social House system, and discussions of diversity. Additionally, the group comments on the life lessons they learned at Bowdoin and what the College means to them as alumni
Junior Chelsea Johnson Awarded National Udall Scholarship
No full textChelsea Johnson has been focused on “making a difference” since arriving on the Lawrence University campus in the fall of 2010. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
The Lawrence University junior from Avon, Ind., has been named one of only 50 national recipients representing 43 colleges of a $5,000 Udall Scholarship. Selected from among 488 candidates. Johnson was one of only two scholars chosen from a Wisconsin college or university.
Awarded by the Arizona-based Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation, the scholarships are awarded to students committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Native American health care.
“I’m interested in the connections between people and their environment and how to make that connection healthier,” said Johnson, an environmental studies and English major. “It’s not just about taking care of the planet, but also about taking care of the people who live on it. The environmental movement has to work on both sides of the equation.
A TALE OF TWO CITIES: DIET, HEALTH AND MIGRATION IN POST-MEDIEVAL COVENTRY AND CHELSEA THROUGH BIOGRAPHICAL RECONSTRUCTION, OSTEOARCHAEOLOGY AND ISOTOPE BIOGEOCHEMISTRY
No full textBiogeochemical research has over the past four-and-a-half decades improved our understanding of human interaction with past environments. The application of different isotope systems has allowed archaeologists to interpret ancient diet, migration and pollution. Although well established in archaeology, biogeochemical interpretations are burdened with questions not only as to the methodology employed but also whether the data presents a consistent picture of past human activity. The use of biographically identifiable individuals offers a means by which the isotope systems may be tested against extent documentary evidence. A sample of forty-five individuals, almost half of which were named individuals, were obtained from the sites of Holy Trinity (Coventry) and St. Luke's (Old Street, Chelsea) and the stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, strontium and lead analysed. The biographies ofthe named individuals were reconstructed through analysis ofextant historical documentation and' used to provide a framework of interpretation for the biogeochemical teclmiques applied. Comparisons are made between the two sites in relation to the biogeochemical techniques employed, biographical reconstruction and osteoarchaeological evidence for disease, migration and diet to address methodological issues and broader questions on 'i,ndustrialisation' during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The osteoarchaeological evidence suggests separation of the two groups into discrete' populations, one that is characterised by occupationally-derived osteoarthropathies (Coventry), and the second, Chelsea, which has an absence of these pathologies. This supports the historical character of the t\VO cities: Coventry as an industrial city in contrast to Chelsea, a 'village of palaces' or pleasure resort. Biogeochemically, carbon and nitrogen isotopes revealed a picture of status-based access to protein resources in a diet that is particularly dominated by freshwater fish, terrestrial omnivores such as pig, or a combination of the two. There is, however, little evidence for a difference in access to such resources between the sexes. Likewise, strontium and oxygen isotopes are capable of differentiating between the two populations and therefore in identifying local and migrant individuals, though limitations in the sample prevent the full utilisation of this data. In one case (Milborough Maxwell) the isotopic techniques \vere able to reveal trans-Atlantic migration between England and the Caribbean. Analysis of lead isotopes of the two populations indicates that while there is little to differentiate the two sites, heavy metal exposure is greater for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries than for previous periods.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
