In collaboration with Ronan Tse-min Fu, Meredith Shaw, and Dat Nguyen, we have created an extensive dataset of war and other violence in historical East Asia to measure conflicts as precisely as possible. Comprising over 1,4,00 entries, the dataset follows modern social scientific standard and utilizes language sources of Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.
“War, Rebellion, and Intervention under Hierarchy: Vietnam–China Relations, 1365 to 1841"
“Measuring War in Early Modern East Asia: Introducing Chinese and Korean Language Sources"
East Asia Before the West: Five Centuries of Trade and Tribute (Columbia University Press, 2010)
With Jackie S.H. Wong and Zenobia Chan, we have done extensive text analysis of Chinese rhetoric. In addition to our main article, "What Does China Want?" in International Security, we subsequently replied to our critics in a "Correspondence."
In the "Correpondence," we re-ran our findings and replicated them to be sure we had not engaged in selection bias. Click here for the replication files for the Correspondence.
