This essay examines the relationship between history and the quantitative study of international conflict. The usual distinction between these two pursuits does not hold up to close scrutiny. In fact, both research communities are in the business of using theory to explain social processes that occur within historical bounds. Making these historical bounds explicit is an appropriate response to the nature of our subject matter. Doing so also has some important advantages, including more precise theory, higher quality data, better model specification, and the potential to help explain important historical events.

历史与定量冲突研究:一个限制我们理论论证的历史范围的案例

本文考察了历史与定量研究国际冲突之间的关系。这两种追求之间通常的区别并没有受到严格的审查。实际上,两个研究社区都在使用理论来解释在历史范围内发生的社会过程。使这些历史界限明确是对我们主题性质的适当回应。这样做还具有一些重要的优点,包括更精确的理论,更高质量的数据,更好的模型规格以及有助于解释重要历史事件的潜力。
