Collaborative Research on Domestic and International Conflict Linkages

9423762摩尔社会科学的理论观点传统上将国内冲突和国际冲突视为独立的。然而，研究人员认为，联系是存在的，并且对于理解国内或国际层面的冲突动态是重要的。最近的历史提供了许多国内和国际冲突联系的例子，包括海湾战争后伊拉克的库尔德起义，阿根廷入侵福克兰群岛/马尔维纳斯群岛，以及尼加拉瓜的反政府战争。然而，这种联系是作为冲突行为的一般模式存在，还是只在国家间危机、战争、骚乱和叛乱等重大事件中表现出来？当前的调查将回答关于正在经历自由化和/或面临民族主义挑战的中等国家的问题。它还将通过发展和检验国内-国际冲突联系的动态理论，帮助解决文献中存在的弱点。在埃默里大学和全球合作与冲突研究所的支持下，该项目已经进行了一年。在此期间，调查人员指定了一个理论模型，制定了收集相关数据的编码方案，并开始收集8个案例的数据。他们的模型建立在研究民族国家间冲突与合作行为的国际关系文献的基础上。此外，研究小组利用了最近对两级模型的呼吁，并认为这种联系可以通过以下论点得到最好的澄清：对国家怀有敌意的国内团体、国家本身以及国际体系中的相关其他国家都在冲突局势中监视并回应彼此的行为。换句话说，研究人员开发了一种模式，其中任何参与者的行为都被认为是由其他参与者的行为所制约的。＊＊＊

9423762 Moore Theoretical perspectives in the social sciences have traditionally treated domestic and international conflict as independent. However, the investigators contend that linkages exist and are important for understanding the dynamics of conflict at either the domestic or international levels. Recent history provides numerous examples of domestic and international conflict linkages including the Kurdish uprising in Iraq following the Gulf War, the Argentine invasion of the Falklands/Malvinas Islands, and the Contra War in Nicaragua. Yet, do such linkages exist as general patterns of conflict behavior or are they only manifest during significant events such as inter-state crises, wars, riots and rebellions? The current investigation will answer that question with respect to middle powers that are undergoing liberalization and/or facing ethno- nationalist challenges. It will also help address the weaknesses that exist within the literature by developing and testing a dynamic theory of domestic-international conflict linkages. The project has been underway for one year with support from Emory University and the Institute for Global cooperation and Conflict. During that time the investigators have specified a theoretical model, developed a coding scheme for collecting relevant data and begun the data collection on eight cases. their model builds on work in the international relations literature that examines conflictual and cooperative behavior among nation-states. In addition, the research team makes use of the recent call for two-level modelling and contend that the linkage can best be clarified by arguing that domestic groups hostile to the state, the state itself, and relevant other states in the international system all monitor, and respond to, one another's behavior in conflict situations. In other words, the investigators develop a modes where the behavior of any of these actors is argued to be conditioned by the behavior of each of the other actors. ***
