Global data from 1990 to 2018 explores the relationship between US military presence and trade-based sanctions evasion. The dataset combines information from the Global Sanctions Database with US global military deployments data. It was authored by Keith Preble and is hosted on the Foreign Policy Analysis Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Modeling the probability of sanctions busting based on troop deployment magnitude and duration.
- Analyzing the volume of sanctions-busting trade for states with and without defense pacts with the US.
- Investigating the diminishing effect of alliance commitments on trade restraint after long troop durations.
- Comparing sanctions compliance behavior between allied host nations and third-party states.
Strengths
- Covers a 28-year time range from 1990 to 2018.
- Integrates two named data sources: the Global Sanctions Database and US global military deployments data.
- Analysis distinguishes between states with defense pacts and third-party states.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The description notes that the magnitude of sanctions busting trade is more difficult to predict.
