CMPS Volume 42 Issue 4 is here. The July issue features five articles on rebel militarisation, UN voting preferences, the media’s impact on postwar attitudes, territorial claims and conflict escalation, and border walls and terrorism.

While this plot shows some ups and downs, the line of best fit suggests a general upward trend in transnationally co-authored papers. This reflects a growing international community and the value of diverse perspectives in our field. #AcademicPublishing #GlobalResearch

As part of our series on published articles at CMPS, this thread focuses on co-authored papers involving authors based in different countries. The data includes all co-authored papers from the last 12 volumes.

Find the whole issue below. We’ll be back with our next issue in September - until then, we hope everyone has a wonderful summer! #Peace #Research #PoliticalScience #IR #Conflict.

Finally, @drewrosenberg_ & Nazli Avdan assess whether #Border walls stop transnational #Terrorism. Using network analysis of 63 extremist groups, they find walls can inhibit violence but effects vary by group, challenging walls as a catch-all solution.

Fourth, Tsukasa Watanabe & Andrew J Enterline @UNT_PSCI examine when territorial claims lead to #War. Using data on 209 claims in Asia and Oceania, they find those tied to incursions, loss, or independence are the most likely to escalate hostilities.

Third, Carey, Gläßel & Paula ask if media shapes #Postwar attitudes long-term. Studying anti-government broadcasts in #Nepal, they find those exposed were less optimistic about peace, police, and civic activism up to 3 years after the station shut down.

Second, @courtenaymonroe, Nathan W Monroe & @ShengkuoHu question how #UNGA votes reveal state preferences. They find procedural context matters, with committee amendment votes yielding clearer insights, especially for states away from the policy centre.

First, Pamp, Thurner, Binder & Mehltretter @TU_Muenchen ask if more weapons in #Rebel hands escalate #CivilWar violence. Using data on 270 groups, they find better-armed rebels only fight higher-intensity conflicts if they receive no external support.

RT @DimitarGueorg1: Happy to share a recent paper on the Hong Kong protests, co-authored with the always-excellent @DongshuLiu and publishe….

This not only reflects the importance of teamwork in advancing research, but also the potential for broader perspectives and methodologies. Stay tuned for our next update, which will examine a rising trend in transnationally co-authored papers. #Diversity #Peace #Publishing.

This plot shows that the number of co-authored articles is increasingly surpassing single-authored pieces. This trend highlights a growing academic community engaged in collaborative research.

In this thread, we’re looking at co-authorship trends at Conflict Management and Peace Science! Using data from the past 12 years of CMPS volumes, we’ve tracked the percentages of co-authored vs. single-authored manuscripts.

Follow this page for future updates as we shift focus from geographic diversity to other statistics related to published articles at CMPS. #Diversity #Peace #Publishing #ConflictStudies #InclusiveResearch.

This trend points to broadening diversity in peace science and growing international interest in CMPS. Notably, this plot also reveals that for three of the last four volumes, at least half of the articles featured authors based outside of the United States.

As part of our series on submitted and published articles at CMPS, this thread highlights a steady rise in papers by non-US-based authors since 2013. This data is from CMPS's last 12 volumes, reflecting every author’s home institution when published.

Check out the whole issue here, and stay tuned for our next issue in July! In the meantime, follow for more insights from our ongoing series on CMPS submission and acceptance data.

Finally, in this issue’s data feature, Jiakun Jack Zhang & Spencer Shanks introduce the China TIES dataset, capturing 135 cases of #China as sender and 88 as target of economic #Sanctions from 1949-2020.

Fifth, @harrietgoers, @laiabalcells & Kathleen Gallagher Cunningham show how internal competition drives self-rule movements to pursue #Referendums, often as a strategy to claim or maintain leadership.

Fourth, @SamRBell and @kitagawarisa ask whether #CivilSociety actors can secure protections for themselves during peace #Negotiations, finding that participation boosts the chance of securing post-conflict rights.
