Abstract

Abstract This research note presents two replication studies that were conducted during a research-oriented course at Heidelberg University in summer 2022. The first study, initially conducted by Korell, replicates the findings from Albert’s original contribution on rebel governance. Albert conducted an explorative study in analyzing the associations between rebel governance and rebel military capacity. Our replication study indicates support for Albert’s argument of the relevance of disaggregating rebel governance, while we also show that the original findings are mainly driven by Albert’s explorative model specifications. The second study, initially conducted by Reinecke, tests the robustness of Levin et al.’s study on the democratic peacekeeping hypothesis and expands upon the original study by directly testing the “selectorate-theoretic causal mechanism” for the democratic peacekeeping hypothesis. Overall, the replication studies presented in this research note provide interesting findings regarding empirical conflict studies and contribute to ongoing efforts to promote replication initiatives in the education of future political scientists.
学生主导的比较政治学复制研究:新视角的新发现?
本研究报告介绍了2022年夏季海德堡大学研究型课程期间进行的两项复制研究。第一项研究最初是由科瑞尔进行的,它重复了阿尔伯特对叛军治理的原始贡献的发现。Albert进行了一项探索性研究,分析了叛军治理与叛军军事能力之间的关系。我们的复制研究表明支持Albert关于分解反叛治理相关性的论点,同时我们也表明,原始发现主要是由Albert的探索性模型规范驱动的。第二项研究最初由Reinecke进行,检验了Levin等人关于民主维和假设的研究的稳健性,并在原有研究的基础上进行了扩展,直接检验了民主维和假设的“选择理论因果机制”。总的来说,本研究报告中提出的重复性研究提供了关于实证冲突研究的有趣发现,并有助于在未来政治科学家的教育中不断努力促进重复性倡议。

期刊介绍: Comparative Governance and Politics – Zeitschrift für Vergleichende Politikwissenschaft (ZfVP) was founded in 2007. It is an internationally renowned journal that adheres to the highest standards of quality (double-blind peer review). The journal is published quarterly, and it is the first bilingual (German and English) journal that focuses on innovative research results in the area of comparative politics. The journal is a central academic forum for outstanding research achievements in the field of comparative politics, and covers the entire range of comparative research within the field. The journal publishes conceptual, methodological, and empirical studies from all the various research areas within the discipline of political science. Special Issues and Special Sections Special Issues and Special Sections offer the opportunity to present focal topics of comparative research. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review procedure, which is conducted within the scope of a consultation between the author and the editors through our online submission system. The editors will also initiate the creation of potential special issues through open calls for papers. At the same time, the editors always appreciate suggestions and initiatives from the comparative studies community. Proposals for Special Issues and Special Sections are also subjected to an internal evaluation process. Our Special Issues are published as one of the four quarterly issues and usually consist of six to ten articles, accompanied by an introduction written by the guest editor(s). Special Sections, on the other hand, are a topical focus in one of the four quarterly issues, consisting of three to five articles, which are supplemented by a guest editor’s preface.
