Notable Recent Changes to Site

2008 saw some of the biggest changes in the 13-year history of this web site: I changed the site's layout and color scheme to reflect my move from Florida State to the University of North Texas; moved the site from FSU's server to a commercial server; renamed, deleted, or merged some of the pages on the site to improve its organization; and finished the long-overdue task of verifying all external links from this site. In my "free time" in 2009 I will work to trim down the contents of each page to the most useful resources on each topic and to add a number of useful links that I have bookmarked but haven't had time to add to the site.

My Research: added the Hensel/Allison/Khanani 2009 Conflict Management and Peace Science article on territorial integrity norms; Brochmann/Hensel 2009 International Negotiation article on negotiation over rivers; 2009 Block/Hensel/Siegel submission on identity and negotiations; 2008 Hensel/Brochmann APSA paper on rivers and conflict and 2009 Brochmann/Hensel submission on the success of negotiations over rivers; 2008 Nyman/Hensel APSA paper on issue salience; and the colonial legacies project's latest update.

My Data: Among other things, during 2009 I will be releasing an updated version of the ICOW Colonial History data set (with much more detail about each COW system member's past colonial relationships) and at least one updated version of the main ICOW territorial, river, and maritime claims data (which I expect will correct a few small errors in the existing data, finish river claims for the entire world, finish territorial claims for the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and perhaps finish maritime claims for the Middle East). By the end of the summer I will also release an update to the COW Direct Contiguity and Colonial Contiguity data sets, which will bring them both up to date through the end of 2008 and will add more detail to the colonial data (like the details that I added to the direct contiguity data in its most recent update, with a description of the body of water that is involved with sea contiguity as well as brief summaries of how a given period of contiguity began and ended).

Teaching: I've added my Spring 2010 teaching schedule to the top of this page.

Data Links: I have lots of links that will be added in 2009 now that I'm mostly settled in at UNT, and the existing pages will be cleaned up quite a bit. I am also writing the "Review of Available Data Sets" chapter for the ISA Compendium Project, which will be accompanied by an online supplement with links to the data sets described in that chapter; this supplement looks like it will be hosted here on my site, perhaps integrated with the rest of my data links. More details will be provided when they are available (probably in early summer of 2009).
