This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). This project addresses how prior military service affects the appointment and performance of high-level political advisors by developing and analyzing a new cross-national data set detailing the military experience of political appointees around the world. The cross-national data set includes descriptive information on political appointees post-World War II and allows scholars and policymakers to better understand the beliefs and actions of high-level political appointees to both military and civilian government appointments.The project compiles a database of military experience for tens of thousands of cabinet-level officials, in more than 150 countries during the post-World War II era. It provides information on the duration and branch of service, final rank, combat experience, commendations, and service with rebel groups, among other relevant factors. The new data set helps to address a range of questions regarding political appointees, including the likelihood of veteran appointments, the effect of veteran advisors on the hawkishness or dovishness of foreign policy, and the effect of such officials on the probability of military victory. The complete data set advances basic research on executive appointments, civil-military relations, and international conflict, among other subfields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。该项目通过开发和分析一个新的跨国数据集，详细介绍了世界各地政治任命者的军事经验，解决了先前的兵役如何影响高级政治顾问的任命和表现。 该跨国数据集包括二战后政治任命的描述性信息，使学者和决策者能够更好地了解军事和文职政府任命的高级政治任命者的信念和行动。该项目为二战后150多个国家的数万名内阁级官员编制了一个军事经验数据库。它提供了服役期限和分支、最后军衔、战斗经验、嘉奖、在反叛团体服役等相关信息。 新的数据集有助于解决有关政治任命的一系列问题，包括退伍军人任命的可能性，退伍军人顾问对外交政策的鹰派或鸽派的影响，以及这些官员对军事胜利概率的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
