Replication data for: Individual Identity Attachments and International Conflict: The Importance of Territorial Threat.

This article provides some of the first individual-level evidence for the domestic salience of territorial issues. Using survey data from more than 80,000 individual respondents in 43 separate countries, we examine how conflict affects the content of individual self-identification. We find that international conflict exerts a strong influence on the likelihood and content of individual self-identification, but this effect varies with the type of conflict. Confirming nationalist theories of territorial salience, territorial conflict leads the majority of individuals in targeted countries to identify themselves as citizens of their country. However, individuals in countries that are initiating territorial disputes are more likely to self-identify as members of a particular ethnicity, which provides support for theories connecting domestic salience to ethnic politics. That conflict has variegated effects on identity formation suggests the relationship is not endogenous. Our within-case analysis of changes in Nigerian self-identifications further demonstrates that individuals are quite susceptible to the types and locations of international conflict.本文提供了首批针对领土议题国内关注度的个体层面实证证据之一。本研究依托覆盖43个国家、超8万名个体受访者的调查数据，探讨冲突如何影响个体自我认同的内涵。研究发现，国际冲突对个体自我认同的形成概率与内涵具有显著影响，但该影响因冲突类型而异。本研究验证了领土议题关注度的民族主义理论：领土冲突会促使受影响国家的多数个体将自身认同为本国公民。然而，主动挑起领土争端的国家内的个体，更倾向于将自身认同为某一特定族群的成员，这为联结国内关注度与族群政治的理论提供了实证支撑。冲突对身份建构存在差异化影响，这表明二者的关联并非内生性的。我们对尼日利亚民众自我认同变化的个案内分析进一步证实，个体极易受到国际冲突的类型与发生区位的影响。
