Cultural diversity, domestic political violence and public expe / Akdede, Sacit Hadi; Hwang, Jinyoung; Can, Emre   Journal Article
Akdede, Sacit Hadi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract This study investigates the relationship between cultural diversity, political violence and public expenditures. Using a cross-section of cultural diversity indices, it is empirically examined whether cultural diversity caused or intensified political violence in the 1980s and 1990s. It is found that economic factors were statistically significant in the intensity of the violence in the 1980s, whereas political and cultural factors were significant in the 1990s. In addition, ethnic diversity took a significant role in both starting the violence and the intensity of it in the 1990s.

Death as a measure of duration of conflict / Akdede, Sacit Hadi; Ogus, Ayla   Journal Article
Akdede, Sacit Hadi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This paper introduces a new measure of conflict duration and argues that the number of deaths in a conflict can serve as such a measure. The paper demonstrates that there are information gains to this approach. The well-known conflict database of the International Peace Research Institute is compared with the database of the Center for Systemic Peace, which includes data on the number of deaths in addition to length of conflict. The number and distribution of conflicts vary; however, duration analysis based on the conventional measure of duration yields results that are robust over the above-mentioned datasets. We also show that the number of deaths, as a measure of duration, challenges some of the results based on the number of years as a measure of duration. In the 1990s, the duration of conflicts is significantly different from before when the duration measure is the number of years - we do not find a statistically significant distinction when the number of deaths is used. Ethnic conflicts have a longer survival time in terms of time but not in terms of number of fatalities.
