This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $836,874 to the University of Maryland, College Park from October 2022 through September 2025. The award will fund research on the effectiveness of drones, air power, and modern coercion in armed conflict.

Specifically, the Principal Investigator will generate new cross-country data on the use of offshore military capabilities in interstate disputes from 2001-2021 involving six countries. They will also collect grid-month level information on offshore missile strikes used during intrastate conflicts by 15 states over the same time period. With this data, the PI will develop theory on offshore coercion and analyze its impact on conflict dynamics using quantitative methods like matching, fixed effects models, and placebo and sensitivity tests. They will also employ process tracing to examine the causal mechanisms. The project aims to advance understanding of armed coercion, counterinsurgency, and how changing military tactics and technology affect the utility of coercion. All research products will contribute to the scientific knowledge on these issues.
