This proposal seeks funding to continue research on political violence in Africa. With funding from a previous NSF grant, Robert H. Bates assembled a research team of fellow scholars and graduate students. Among its major accomplishments were the collection and dissemination of a comprehensive set of political and economic data. A major purpose of the second grant is to keep this team intact, so as to complete the analysis of these data and secure their publication. More specifically, two objectives motivate this work. The first is to complete the analysis of data collected on the political economy of 46 African states over the 1970-95 period, as financed by the earlier grant. The second is to move from the creation of this regional dataset to the creation of an international data bank. Drawing on the experience gained from the project thus far and mobilizing the resources of the Web, we aim to develop a technology that, among other things, will promote a constructive interaction between area specialists and those engaged in the broader comparative study of politics.

该提案寻求资金，以继续研究非洲的政治暴力。 在以前的NSF资助下，罗伯特·H·贝茨组建了一个由学者和研究生组成的研究小组。 其主要成就包括收集和传播一套全面的政治和经济数据。 第二笔赠款的主要目的是保持该团队的完整性，以便完成对这些数据的分析并确保其出版。更具体地说，有两个目标推动这项工作。 第一项是完成对1970- 1995年期间收集的46个非洲国家政治经济数据的分析，这是由先前的赠款资助的。 第二是从建立区域数据集转向建立国际数据库。 借鉴迄今为止从该项目中获得的经验，并调动网络资源，我们的目标是开发一种技术，除其他外，将促进领域专家和从事更广泛的政治比较研究的人之间的建设性互动。
