International Recognition, religion, and the status of Western Sahara
Acta Politica, 2020Co-Authors: Nikola Mirilovic, David S. SirokyAbstract:How do countries decide whether or not to recognize an aspiring state? We examine such decisions in the context of contested Recognition, which we define as a claim to statehood that is recognized by a large number of countries, but remains unrecognized by many others. We suggest that religion—both at the domestic level via religious regulation and discrimination against minority religions and at the International level via transnational religious ties—shapes Recognition decisions. In cases where the two parties to a Recognition dispute share the same dominant religious tradition (as in Western Sahara), transnational religious ties are expected to lead to external support for the side that emphasizes its religious identity and that has access to more resources. Moreover, we show that countries with higher levels of religious regulation are less likely to extend Recognition. We assess these two conjectures for why some countries—but not others—have recognized the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as an independent state using data on the Recognition decisions of all 192 United Nations member states.

International Recognition and Religion: A Quantitative Analysis of Kosovo’s Contested Status
International Interactions, 2016Co-Authors: Nikola Mirilovic, David S. SirokyAbstract:ABSTRACTRecognition from other recognized states is the key to becoming a fully fledged member state of the International system. Although many new states are quickly and universally recognized, the Recognition of other aspiring states remains highly contested. In these cases of contested sovereignty, some countries but not others extend Recognition. However, research on what shapes a country’s decision to recognize a claim to sovereign statehood remains relatively sparse. This article focuses on how religion shapes the incentives of states to extend or withhold Recognition to aspiring states in cases of contested sovereignty. It posits two mechanisms, one at the domestic level through religious institutions and one at the International level through transnational religious affinities. The article uses new data on all state decisions regarding the International Recognition of Kosovo to test these propositions. The results provide strong support for these two pathways through which religion shapes state de...

Two States in the Holy Land?: International Recognition and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Politics and Religion, 2015Co-Authors: Nikola Mirilovic, David S. SirokyAbstract:How do states decide to extend or withhold International Recognition in cases of contested sovereignty? We focus on how religion shapes the incentives of states in making this decision, both at the domestic level through religious institutions and at the International level through religious affinities. States with transnational religious ties to the contested territory are more likely to extend Recognition. At the domestic level, states that heavily regulate religion are less likely to extend International Recognition. We test these conjectures, and examine others in the literature, with two new data sets on the International Recognition of both Palestine and Israel and voting on the United Nations resolution to admit Palestine as a non-member state observer, combined with global data on religious regulation and religious affinities. In cases of contested sovereignty, the results provide support for these two mechanisms through which religion shapes foreign policy decisions about International Recognition.

Publications on paediatric anaesthesia: a quantitative analysis of publication activity and International Recognition
British journal of anaesthesia, 2000Co-Authors: Ansgar M. Brambrink, D. Ehrler, Wolfgang DickAbstract:A comprehensive compilation of the current International literature on paediatric anaesthesia is lacking. The aim of this study was to identify all articles on clinical practice in paediatric anaesthesia, to name the respective journals, and to assess the publication activity and International Recognition of selected countries for a 6-yr period (1993–1998). The search comprised an article-to-article evaluation (‘hand search') of 12 peer-reviewed anaesthesia journals, as well as an Internet-based (‘SilverPlatter') MedlineTM-search (3.900 medical journals, US National Library of Medicine), both limited to original articles, case reports, reviews and editorials. Selected physical characteristics, for example the number of infants and children aged 0–14 yr old, the number of anaesthetists (specialists) and current impact factors (Science Citation Index) served to assess publication activity and International Recognition. During the time period studied, 2259 articles (377/yr) were published on paediatric anaesthesia in 295 medical journals. The articles were primarily written in English (85.1%) and the majority originated from the USA (35.4%) and the UK (12.6%). The largest number of publications (77.7%) appeared in 29 anaesthesia journals, all referenced in MedlineTM, with 46% being published by only five journals. Most authors published in journals of their home country/region. Authors from the UK ranked highest in publication activity, followed by those from Canada, Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark. The highest impact factor was achieved by US and UK authors. We conclude that publications on paediatric anaesthesia are clustered in a small number of journals and are written predominantly by authors from English-speaking countries, who achieved the highest International Recognition.
