The 2024 Best Visualization Award goes to @Mas_Kikuchi (@WUSTLPoliSci) for his article ‘How does war affect cultural tolerance? Evidence from concert programs, 1900-60’. Congratulations to the author! 🏆

[Journal of Peace Research @JPR_journal]

Kikuchi analyzes concert programs from 10 major symphony orchestras across five countries between 1900 and 1960, showing how war reduces performances of enemy nations’ modern music. His visualizations stand out for their simplicity, readability, and clarity.

Who is likely to benefit from Internet propaganda in civil wars and why?

[Journal of Peace Research @JPR_journal]

@bfwalter & @Gregoire_Philli unpack this puzzle by introducing a new dataset on rebel propaganda that includes every available piece of public, downloadable Internet communication produced by every major rebel group in the Iraqi civil war between 2011 and 2015.

New dataset alert: @MatiasSpektor, @marcos_ross_f, @lucasdopaes, João Victor Dalla Pola & Vitor Loureiro Sion developed the Latin American Transnational Surveillance dataset, based on declassified foreign surveillance reports produced between 1966 and 1986 by autocratic Brazil.

[Journal of Peace Research @JPR_journal]

Drawing on the data the authors empirically explore existing theoretical insights about the motivations, methods and consequences of transnational surveillance, and use social network analysis to test collective-action theories of transnational political violence.
