U.S. National Security Commissions, 1981-2009

This dataset presents information related to United States blue-ribbon commissions that examined national security issues between January 1981 and January 2009. The purpose of the dataset is to enable analysis of the influence of blue-ribbon commissions and of the conditions and characteristics that affect the influence of these commissions. Findings based on the dataset will be published in Jordan Tama, "Crises, Commissions, and Reform: The Impact of Blue-Ribbon Panels," Political Research Quarterly. Findings based on an earlier version of the dataset were published in Jordan Tama, Terrorism and National Security Reform: How Commissions Can Drive Change During Crises (Cambridge University Press, 2011).本数据集呈现了1981年1月至2009年1月期间美国蓝带委员会所审查的国家安全相关信息。数据集旨在促进对蓝带委员会影响及其所受条件和特性的分析。基于该数据集的研究成果将由Jordan Tama在《政治研究季刊》上发表的《危机、委员会与改革：蓝带小组的影响》一文中呈现。该数据集早期版本的研究成果已由Jordan Tama在《恐怖主义与国家安全改革：委员会如何在危机中推动变革》（剑桥大学出版社，2011年）一书中发表。
