TimeBase - Modeling and Mapping Temporal Differences
Abstract
From the rhythms of diplomacy to the tempos of warfare, time is a pervasive yet often underappreciated dimension of international relations. While scholars and practitioners have long recognized the importance of temporal factors such as timing, sequencing, and horizons at shaping national perceptions, risk propensity, strategies, and interactions in great power competition, our deeper understanding of these dynamics remains limited and often anecdotal. Existing research tends to focus on narrow aspects of temporality or to rely on Western-centric assumptions, rather than engaging in systematic, cross-cultural analysis grounded in empirical evidence. Accordingly, there is pressing need for systematic, empirically- grounded, and cross-cultural analysis of how state actors perceive and manipulate time to advance their interests in the global arena.
