Crisis, Order, and Outcome

Abstract: What influences the order in which bargaining between actors occurs? Does the order of bargaining influence the outcome of the crises? In this paper, we consider the effect of actors' behavior in 47 domestic crises to address whether specfic factors are associated with different patterns of bargaining and, furthermore, whether these patterns are associated with specific outcomes of the crises. We account for order by using Sequence Analysis, which treats crises as sequences of events and quantifies the similarity between crisis sequences. We argue that two factors -- the opportunity to negotiate and the type of crisis -- influence the pattern of bargaining across the crises. Furthermore, the order of bargaining has an effect on the outcome of the crises, as measured by subsequent actions and changes in the competitiveness of participation.
