项目摘要

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). This project addresses how prior military service affects the appointment and performance of high-level political advisors by developing and analyzing a new cross-national data set detailing the military experience of political appointees around the world. The cross-national data set includes descriptive information on political appointees post-World War II and allows scholars and policymakers to better understand the beliefs and actions of high-level political appointees to both military and civilian government appointments.The project compiles a database of military experience for tens of thousands of cabinet-level officials, in more than 150 countries during the post-World War II era. It provides information on the duration and branch of service, final rank, combat experience, commendations, and service with rebel groups, among other relevant factors. The new data set helps to address a range of questions regarding political appointees, including the likelihood of veteran appointments, the effect of veteran advisors on the hawkishness or dovishness of foreign policy, and the effect of such officials on the probability of military victory. The complete data set advances basic research on executive appointments, civil-military relations, and international conflict, among other subfields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项的全部或部分资金根据《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）提供。该项目通过开发和分析一个新的跨国数据集，详细介绍世界各地政治任命者的军事经历，解决以前的兵役如何影响高级政治顾问的任命和绩效。该跨国数据集包括二战后政治任命者的描述性信息，使学者和政策制定者能够更好地了解高级政治任命者对军事和文职政府任命的信念和行动。该项目编制了一个军事和文职政府任命的数据库二战后时期 150 多个国家数万名内阁级官员的经验。它提供了有关服役期限和部门、最终军衔、战斗经验、嘉奖以及在叛乱组织中服役以及其他相关因素的信息。新数据集有助于解决一系列有关政治任命人员的问题，包括退伍军人任命的可能性、退伍军人顾问对外交政策鹰派或鸽派的影响，以及此类官员对军事胜利可能性的影响。完整的数据集推进了行政任命、军民关系和国际冲突等子领域的基础研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
