Replication Data for: Military Influence in Civilian Institutions: Analyzing Ethnic Group Political and Economic Exclusion

This study investigates how military influence within civilian government affects the political and economic exclusion of ethnic minorities. Drawing on institutional theory, it argues that heightened military influence in civilian institutions exacerbates ethnic discrimination through two mechanisms: institutional entrenchment and economic co-optation. Employing global panel data from 157 countries spanning 1950–2006, the analysis integrates logistic regression and country-level random effects models, using data from the All Minorities at Risk (AMAR) and Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) datasets. Findings consistently indicate that increased military influence significantly correlates with higher political and economic exclusion of ethnic minorities. These results remain robust across various model specifications and alternative measurements of military involvement. By identifying military dominance as a structural driver of ethnic marginalization, the study advances theoretical discussions on civil-military relations and institutional inclusivity, providing critical empirical evidence for policymakers aiming to promote inclusive governance and democratic resilience.本研究考察文职政府体系内的军事影响力对少数族裔政治与经济排斥状况的影响。依托制度理论，本研究提出：文职机构中军事影响力的增强，会通过两种机制加剧族群歧视——制度固化（institutional entrenchment）与经济笼络（economic co-optation）。本研究采用覆盖1950年至2006年、涵盖157个国家的全球面板数据，整合逻辑回归（logistic regression）与国家层面随机效应模型开展分析，数据源处于风险中的少数族裔数据集（All Minorities at Risk, AMAR）与族群权力关系数据集（Ethnic Power Relations, EPR）。研究结果一致表明，军事影响力的提升与少数族裔面临的更高程度政治、经济排斥显著相关。在多种模型设定与军事参与度的替代测量方案下，上述结果均保持稳健。本研究将军事主导地位确立为族群边缘化的结构性驱动因素，拓展了关于军民关系与制度包容性的理论探讨，并为致力于推进包容性治理与提升民主韧性的政策制定者提供了关键实证支撑。
