Election Violence: As elections have spread to nearly every country in the world, so have<br />
complaints about the role <strong>of</strong> violence in democratization <strong>and</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> violence as an electoral<br />
tool for incumbents to stay in power. This multi-year research project seeks to identify which<br />
governments are prone to engage in election violence as well as the conditions under which violent<br />
strategies lead to the removal <strong>of</strong> incumbent leaders from power. Most importantly, it aims to<br />
identify which factors mitigate government incentives to use violent electoral tactics. Our research<br />
approach includes global, historical statistical analysis, case studies <strong>and</strong> field experiments. Our<br />
first two working papers are available from http://ilar.ucsd.edu/publications/:<br />
“When Governments Use Election Violence to Stay in Power.” With Susan Hyde <strong>and</strong> Ryan<br />
Jablonski. British Journal <strong>of</strong> Poltiical Science, forthcoming 2013.<br />
“Surviving Elections: Election Violence <strong>and</strong> Leader Tenure.” With Susan Hyde <strong>and</strong> Ryan Jablonski.<br />
A Behavioral Approach to <strong>International</strong> Cooperation: Theories on treaty design <strong>and</strong><br />
participation have relied heavily on the structure <strong>of</strong> bargaining problems, the allocation <strong>of</strong> power in<br />
the international system, <strong>and</strong> interest group politics to explain states’ preferences for international<br />
legal cooperation. Using experiments drawn from behavioral economics <strong>and</strong> cognitive<br />
psychology—along with substantive surveys focused on international trade, security, environment<br />
<strong>and</strong> human rights treaties—this multi-year research project is probing whether the personality traits<br />
<strong>of</strong> the individual people who make key policy decisions in negotiating, ratifying <strong>and</strong> implementing<br />
international treaties also shape preferences for legal content. Our results may be especially<br />
valuable in identifying why cooperation processes are, in reality, <strong>of</strong>ten far from rationally optimal or<br />
functional to the strategic problem at h<strong>and</strong>, as well as in identifying where <strong>and</strong> why experienced<br />
elites differ from less experienced subjects. Several working papers are available from<br />
