The Diffusion of Democracy, 1946–1994
John O'Loughlin,Michael D. Ward,Corey Lofdahl,Jordin S. Cohen,David S. Brown,David Reilly,Kristian Skrede Gleditsch,Michael Shin +7 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between the temporal and spatial aspects of democratic diffusion in the world system since 1946 and found strong and consistent evidence of temporal clustering of democratic and autocratic trends, as well as strong spatial association (or autocorrelation) of democratization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate variability and conflict risk in East Africa, 1990–2009
John O'Loughlin,Frank D. W. Witmer,Andrew M. Linke,Arlene Laing,Andrew Gettelman,Jimy Dudhia +5 more
TL;DR: The relationship between temperature and conflict shows that much warmer than normal temperatures raise the risk of violence, whereas average and cooler temperatures have no effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate as a risk factor for armed conflict
Katharine J. Mach,C.M. Kraan,W. Neil Adger,Halvard Buhaug,Halvard Buhaug,Marshall Burke,Marshall Burke,James D. Fearon,Christopher B. Field,Cullen S. Hendrix,Cullen S. Hendrix,Jean-François Maystadt,Jean-François Maystadt,John O'Loughlin,Philip Roessler,Jürgen Scheffran,Kenneth A. Schultz,Nina von Uexkull,Nina von Uexkull +18 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the current understanding of the relationship between climate and conflict, based on the structured judgments of experts from diverse disciplines concludes that climate has affected organized armed conflict within countries, and intensifying climate change is estimated to increase future risks of conflict.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Geography of the Nazi Vote: Context, Confession, and Class in the Reichstag Election of 1930
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of spatial heterogeneity and dependence in the 1930 Nazi vote was analyzed using a mixed structural-spatial model, in which key variables from the several theoretical explanations of the NSDAP vote were included with geographic variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of temperature and precipitation variability on the risk of violence in sub-Saharan Africa, 1980–2012
TL;DR: Using a new disaggregated dataset of violence and climate anomaly measures for sub-Saharan Africa 1980–2012, a multilevel modeling technique is applied that allows for a more nuanced understanding of a climate–conflict link.
