A dataset supports a study challenging the conventional wisdom on state reputation and resolve in international politics. It contains experimental evidence gathered from members of the UK Parliament. The data was authored by Joshua Schwartz and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between a state's past action (standing firm vs. backing down) and subsequent elite assessments of its resolve.
- Test for the presence of war-weariness as a mediating variable between a state's action and its perceived resolve.
- Model how foreign powers' observations of public and leader sentiment influence their reputation downgrades.
- Compare elite experimental responses from UK Parliament members against conventional theoretical predictions.
Strengths
- Experimental data collected from a specific elite population (UK Parliament members).
- Dataset directly supports a peer-reviewed publication in The Journal of Politics.
Limitations
- Sample size is limited to the population of UK Parliament members, restricting generalizability.
