A dataset by Austin Beacham from the International Studies Quarterly Dataverse, last updated on 2026-05-26. It examines the relationship between climate shocks and declines in democratic governance, arguing that repeated climate-induced disasters can pressure institutions and increase political unrest. The data is intended to evaluate whether democracies facing more frequent climate shocks are more likely to experience democratic erosion.
Use Cases
- Modeling the impact of climate shock frequency on democratic resilience based on the described theoretical framework.
- Analyzing the relationship between government repressive measures and climate-induced instability in democratic settings.
- Investigating the cascading economic and social disruptions triggered by climate shocks as described in the study.
Strengths
- Dataset is associated with a peer-reviewed journal's dataverse (International Studies Quarterly).
- Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-05-26 20:29:31).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
