I lack the words. It's 2021, and IR theorists have spent decades doing quantitative studies on war, but have been leaving out Native Americans the whole time. The non-state dataset has been entirely meaningless. (And don't get me started on the definition of a state)https://twitter.com/ProfPaulPoast/status/1394621206222057474 …
"Cool IR Paper" Alert!
@Grant_Forks in @JPR_journal. The numerous military campaigns against Native Americans is a key omission in most war datasets. No longer!
Note: Paper shows a 19th-century "surge" in conflicts. That's, uhmm, "manifest destiny"
