The Political, Economic, and Social Effects of the United States Overseas Military Presence
Abstract
Our primary set of goals is to advance the foundations on which we understand the positive and negative consequences of US troop deployments abroad. We are primarily accomplishing this by collecting and analyzing a series of data sets on a range of related issues. We aim to create a project that fills in major gaps in current research and facilitates deeper empirical investigation on the relationship between deployments and their positive and negative externalities. We will collect a series of high-quality, comparable datasets that will enhance the ability to answer the questions we have posed here, along with other questions throughout the social sciences. These datasets will enhance social scientistsÕ ability to examine the microfoundations of the international order, the nature of the United StatesÕ place within it, the sustainability of global American force projection, and the externalities of overseas military expenditures. These datasets will offer reliability, temporal and spatial consistency (and therefore comparability), and a conceptually focused grouping of countries for analysis. To adequately address our proposed research questions, we are creating following objectives for our data collection effort...
