Replication Data for: Hawks Become Us: The Sense of Power and Militant Foreign Policy Attitudes
No full textHow does power shape foreign policy attitudes? Drawing on advances in psychological research on power, I argue that the sense of relative state power explains foreign policy hawkishness. The intuitive sense that “our state” is stronger than “your state” activates militant internationalism, an orientation centered on the efficacy of force and deterrence to achieve state aims. Beyond general orientation towards the world, this sense of power explains discrete attitudes towards pressing security issues, from threat perception in the South China Sea to nuclear weapons use against Iran. Five original surveys across the US, China, and Russia, as well as an experiment fielded on the US public, lend support to these claims. The psychological effects of state power overshadow dispositional traits common in behavioral IR, like individuals’ personalities and moral proclivities. More surprisingly, power changes individuals, making hawks of even the most dovish. Taken together, the paper presents a “first image reversed” challenge to standard bottom-up accounts of foreign policy opinion, and offers unique explanatory leverage in a potential era of US decline, China’s rise, and Russian belligerence
spaceTexts: A Corpus of Speeches in the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
No full textState and nonstate actors gather annually at the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) to debate, deliberate, and exchange information regarding the use and exploration of outer space. Established as an ad hoc committee in the wake of the 1957 launch of Sputnik I, today COPUOS is one of the largest committees in the UN and serves as the preeminent diplomatic venue for the discussion of legal, political, and technical issues arising from the international community's use of space.
Previously only fully available in physical archives, this project digitizes and makes available speeches from the General Debate/General Exchange of Views section. The individual statements are stored in plain text files with associated metadata to assist in natural language processing. The original transcripts are also available for download, and more details can be found in the README file.</p
Replication Data for: Multiplex communities and the emergence of international conflict
No full text Abstract. Advances in community detection reveal new insights into multiplex and multilayer networks. Less work, however, investigates the relationship between these communities and outcomes in social systems. We leverage these advances to shed light on the relationship between the cooperative mesostructure of the international system and the onset of interstate conflict. We detect communities based upon weaker signals of affinity expressed in United Nations votes and speeches, as well as stronger signals observed across multiple layers of bilateral cooperation. Communities of diplomatic affinity display an expected negative relationship with conflict onset. Ties in communities based upon observed cooperation, however, display no effect under a standard model specification and a positive relationship with conflict under an alternative specification. These results align with some extant hypotheses but also point to a paucity in our understanding of the relationship between community structure and behavioral outcomes in networks
Replication Data for: The quantitative analysis of space policy: A review of current methods and future directions
No full textAbstract. Decades of space policy research have yielded an eclectic, multidisciplinary research agenda replete with findings that are relevant for theory and policy. Absent from the literature, however, is a systematic review and discussion of the data and research methods used to ascertain these findings. This is important for research progress, because data and method choice have implications for the validity of the findings, potential contributions to theory, and efficacy of suggested policy prescriptions. Motivated by advances in computational social science, this article reviews the quantitative space policy literature and finds scope for further development with respect to data sources, method selection, and substantive topics of inquiry. Given these findings, two methodological areas are introduced, namely text and network analysis, and their utility is illustrated through an extension of a previous public opinion study, as well as a novel application regarding state support for international space law. This review might be relevant to scholars and practitioners interested in the empirical study of space policy

Letter from Caleb Foote to A. J. Muste, April 1, 1942
No full textLetter to A. J. Muste, likely from Caleb Foote, regarding the possibility of Japanese American families resettle in the Midwestern states. Author describes a recent meeting between Joseph R. Goodman, himself, and Milton Stover Eisenhower, Director of the War Relocation Authority, and correspondence with the president of Antioch College. Author writes "I think the three main question the government will ask in any such plan are 1) are defense industries nearby? 2) what will public reaction be? 3) what are the employment opportunities for the Japanese?" Author also describes situation with curfew in San Francisco: "Typical of what is happening: the other night a Japanese doctor came to the YMCA secretary in San Francisco about 7 o'clock. He had a patient that he need to operate on immediately, but a) he couldn't get a hospital in the city to take the patient, and b) in an hour he had to be back in his house til 6 AM because of the curfew, not matter what happened to the patient during thPersonal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
