Replication Data for: Dangerous dyads in the post-Soviet space: explaining Russia’s military escalation decisions, 1992–2010https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QPIUHARosa, PaoloCuppuleri, AdrianaHarvard Dataverse2021-01-202021-01-20T05:34:58ZThis paper analyses the military behaviour of Russia from 1992 to 2010. The method used is a combination of the dyad analysis introduced by Stuart Bremer in 1992 and the analysis of unit-level variables, which is distinctive of foreign policy analysis. We empirically test a set of hypotheses about the determinants of Russia’s military behaviour in the post-Cold War period by considering the impact of changes of international variables – relative power, the presence of military alliance pacts, the territorial salience of the dispute – and state-level variables – the degree of democracy/autocracy and regime vulnerability. A bivariate and a multivariate analysis are carried out to explain the separate and joint impacts of independent variables.Social SciencesDyad analysisMilitary behaviourNeoclassical realismRussiaRosa Paolo, and Cuppuleri Adriana (2021), 'Dangerous dyads in the post-Soviet space: explaining Russia’s military escalation decisions, 1992–2010', Italian Political Science Review/Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica2021-01-20Rosa, Paolo2020-12-03CC0 1.0
