This article studies the effectiveness of influence strategies in serious dyadic disputes. Influence strategies are classified according to four types: bullying, reciprocating, appeasing, and trial-and-error. The study employs events data from twenty serious disputes occurring in the twentieth...

A set of hypotheses derived from experiential learning and a realpolitik orientation to crisis bargaining are employed to investigate the bargaining behavior of pairs of states embroiled in recurring crises. It is proposed that in crisis bargaining, experiential learning focuses on the outcome...

The findings of a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of reciprocating influence strategies in militarized interstate crises (MICs) suggest that the success of reciprocating strategies in MICs is related to (1) withholding cooperative initiatives until after the reciprocating party has...

The article addresses the state of quantitative international politics research, with particular attention to the extent to which peace scientists have been able to obtain cumulative findings with regard to issues of war and peace. When accumulation is viewed from the broader perspective of the...

The paper describes the research design and presents some preliminary findings from an extended investigation of the role played by cultural similarities and differences between participants in the evolution of militarized interstate disputes, particularly in the parties' uses of negotiation and...

This paper provides the construction in a Bayesian setting of the Fleming-Viot measurevalued process with diploid fertility selection and highlights new connections between Bayesian nonparametrics and population genetics. Via a generalisation of the Blackwell-MacQueen Polya-urn scheme, a Markov...

This paper provides an explicit construction of the Fleming-Viot process with viability selection in a Bayesian nonparametric framework, and derives its stationary distribution. The measure-valued diffusion is obtained as the infinite population limit of the empirical measures of a semi-Markov...

In this paper a widely-studied model in Population Genetics, the so-called Infinitely- Many-Alleles model with neutral mutation, is reinterpreted in terms of a timedependent Bayesian nonparametric statistical model, where the prior of the model is described by the Neutral Fleming-Viot process. A...

Recently, James [15, 16] has derived important results for various models in Bayesian nonparametric inference. In particular, he dened a spatial version of neutral to the right processes and derived their posterior distribution. Moreover, he obtained the posterior distribution for an intensity...
