FROM THE DIRECTOR

“At the Institute, we apply cutting-edge social science research, through student-faculty collaboration.”

June 2014

As I write this letter to you, the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations (ITPIR) is alive with activity. You would never know that this is our summer break since more than 100 students have chosen to spend ten weeks of it here in Williamsburg, working on a variety of ITPIR projects and taking short courses organized by ITPIR faculty and staff. We have a great new home — a big rambling Victorian house on Scotland Street. The building’s open floor plan and big wrap-around porch invite students, faculty and staff to collaborate on the work we are doing together. In May we sent some 30 students to 12 different countries to continue that work abroad.

As the only person around here with gray hair, I can honestly say I learn as much as I teach.The 2013-14 academic year included a long string of exciting “firsts” for student and faculty researchers at ITPIR, highlights include:

• Launch of State Department Diplomacy Lab in collaboration with W&M and UVA• First Higher Education Solutions Network Tech Con hosted by AidData in Williamsburg• Launch of Reform Incentives survey of developing country policymakers – over 30,000! • First Annual AidData Research Consortium meeting in Williamsburg• First TRIP Snap Poll of IR Scholars focusing on contemporary foreign policy issues• Launch of the U.S. Global Development Lab Featuring AidData… and Hillary Clinton• First PIPS E-Internship Program in collaboration with U.S. Army, CRS, and IISS.• Launch of the Center for African Development led by Professor Phil Roessler

More details on these and other initiatives are contained in this report.

Already host to five established research programs, the Institute continues to grow by including new students and faculty members, but also a new and exciting project. The Center for African Development examines conflict, state building and development in Africa and features the Mobile Phones and Women’s Empowerment Initiative. This project studies the impact of mobile phone ownership on women’s wellness and poverty alleviation in developing countries.

Thanks to strong support from the university, individual donors, corporate sponsors, research partnerships, and external grants and contracts from private foundations and government agencies, we have been able to incubate a growing number of great ideas and then take them to scale. If you believe in the mission of the Institute — to produce policy-relevant research for practitioners, to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of international relations, and to provide life-changing experiences for students, then please contact us and ask how you can help advance the goals of the Institute. Sincerely,

Mike Tierney, Director

ACCELERATING DEVELOPMENT, IMPROVING LIVES

Each year, billions of dollars are spent to improve the lives of citizens in developing countries. AidData brings faculty, staff and students together to map who is funding what and where, capture feedback from citizens, conduct cutting-edge research on aid effectiveness and promote data literacy among government and civil society actors.

This research and innovation lab tracks more than $40 trillion in development funding, and provides access to the data through its online portal aiddata.org. With data at their fingertips, governments can make better decisions to plan for their countries’ futures, citizens can hold their leaders accountable for providing public goods, and donors can know more about the impact of their contributions.

SHAPING INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY WITH RESEARCH

In January 2014, AidData launched a research consortium comprising 80 scholars from 50 universities and think tanks. Part of a $25 million award from the U.S. Agency for International Development, these scholars are working to better understand the allocation of development dollars, and the ensuing results and spillover effects.

TESTING AND SCALING DISRUPTIVE DATA INNOVATIONS

AidData has launched a comprehensive data portal at aiddata.org that allows anyone to explore the total envelope of resources available to developing countries to plan for their own development. In 2014, AidData released an updated version of its Chinese development in Africa database. Soon AidData will begin tracking the investments of Arab donors.

Austin Strange, ’12, a Research Associate at AidData, initiated and co-created AidData’s database on Chinese development finance while he was still a W&M undergraduate. Currently, he also is a Research Associate with the U.S. Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI). Strange received a B.A. in Economics and Chinese from William & Mary, is a master’s student in nontraditional security studies at Zhejiang University, and will be a Ph.D. candidate in government at Harvard University beginning in fall 2014.

China Data

TRACKING UNDERREPORTED FINANCIAL FLOWS (TUFF)

China’s development finance portfolio is growing rapidly, but a lack of reliable information makes it difficult to assess the nature and scope of Chinese aid. To address critical information gaps, AidData’s Tracking Underreported Financial Flows (TUFF) team has built a new open source methodology for collecting project-level development finance information from non-Western donors.

One result of this initiative is a comprehensive, transparent database of Chinese official finance to Africa from 2000-2012 available at china.aiddata.org. As of May 2014 the TUFF China database tracked nearly 2,000 Chinese official finance commitments since 2000, including projects considered official development assistance (ODA) and other official flows (OOF), worth more than $80 billion.

The TUFF team has augmented their open data approach by using a number of innovative research tools such as “groundtruthing,” which involves verifying the accuracy of TUFF electronic records through in-country site visits to Chinese-financed projects in Africa. Researchers are also “skytruthing” projects, or monitoring the status of Chinese commitments over time through the use of satellite imagery.

TRACKING CHINA’S DEVELOPMENT FINANCE TO AFRICA: First released in April 2013, the China data continues to garner at-tention from policymakers and the media alike. For the latest on Chinese aid to Africa visit china.aiddata.org

The Project on International Peace & SecurityThe Project on International Peace and Security (PIPS) is an undergraduate think tank in which students craft novel policy solutions to emerging international security challenges. In this yearlong program, PIPS research fellows work with leading scholars and practitioners to develop original policy white papers, which they then present to a distinguished audience at an annual symposium in Washington, D.C.

RESEARCH FOR THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE

In the fall of 2013, the College of William & Mary participated in the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomacy Lab. One of the teams selected to represent the College comprised PIPS research interns, which produced a white paper examining the relationship between prisons and insurgency for the Office of Criminal Justice and Assistance Partnerships at the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. The report offered insights into when prisons can hinder or contribute to the spread of radicalism and insurgency in country. In particular, the paper highlighted the critical importance of preventing incarcerated insurgents from mixing freely with the general prison population and of maintaining well-resourced and humanely operated facilities.

ENGAGING PRACTITIONERS

Throughout the year PIPS student-interns enjoyed opportunities to engage with the U.S. military through programs with TRADOC, U.S. Air Force Air Commbat Command, Defense Entrepreneurs Program, U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy and the Army War College.

LAUNCH OF PIPS E-INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

In fall 2013, PIPS launched an e-internship program that uses William & Mary’s IT infrastructure to electronically link students in Williamsburg with government agencies, think tanks, non-governmental organizations and industry in the United States and internationally. Each PIPS e-intern conducted ten hours of research each week for participating policy employers, including the Diplomatic Courier, Congressional Research Service, Center for International Maritime Security, Xanadu Geography, International Institute for Strategic Studies, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and U.S. European Command. PIPS offered 13 e-intern positions in the 2013-2014 academic year. Given the success of the program and interest from employers, PIPS will expand the number of participating institutions and offer more than 25 e-intern positions for the 2014-2015 academic year.

Reform Incentives PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: BRAD PARKSSURVEY METHODOLOGIST: ZACH RICE

Wealthy countries and international organizations have created a wide range of instruments to promote economic, political, social and environmental reforms that they hope will accelerate economic growth and improve living standards in developing countries. However, scholars and policymakers know very little about when and why the policies, practices, and programs of international development agencies are effective in promoting the reform efforts of low and lower-middle income countries.

The Making Reform Incentives Work for Developing Countries project seeks to equip the global policy community with better information about “what works and what doesn’t” in policy, legal, regulatory, and institutional reform. By surveying thousands of public and private sector leaders across the globe, our team will generate and analyze a first-of-its-kind dataset on how development agencies influence and impact domestic reform efforts throughout the developing world.

L-R: Research Assistants Dan Kent, ’15, and Kristin Ritchey, ’16; Parks and Rice; and Senior Research Assistant Ashley Napier, ’14, will now is working for Aid-Data on the TUFF project.

FIRST ‘SNAP POLL’ REVEALS DIVIDE ON DEFENSE SPENDINGWith the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, TRIP conducted its first “snap poll” of IR scholars in March. The poll, sent to more than 2,800 IR scholars in the United States, featured nine questions on the crisis in Ukraine, Syria’s chemical weapons, and defense spending. “Because the results can be disseminated quickly, we hope these polls will contribute to public and policy debates as international events unfold,” said principal investigator Mike Tierney. Among the findings, just five percent of IR scholars believe the U.S. spends too little on defense, compared with 28 percent of the public. The results of the poll were published on ForeignPolicy.com and featured in the Washington Post, Huffington Post and Chicago Sun Times.

TRIP EARNS MACARTHUR GRANTThe MacArthur Foundation awarded a $240,000 grant to the TRIP Project for two initiatives. First, TRIP will identify which universities, programs and scholars are most likely to produce policy-relevant research in IR. Second, TRIP will expand its worldwide survey of IR scholars to a dozen new countries, including Brazil, India, Russia and China. This expansion will provide insight into how universities train the next generation of leaders in the world’s rising powers.

PREPARING FOR THE 2014 SURVEYIn August, TRIP will launch the fifth version of their worldwide faculty survey, asking scholars about their teaching and research practices and views on key foreign policy issues. Begun in 2004, the survey has expanded from 20 countries in 2011 to more than 30 countries and nine languages in 2014.

This network visualization contains all the articles in the TRIP journal article database and identifies different “scholarly communities” in the IR literature over the past 30 years and shows how the articles are linked through common citations.

With more than half a million dollars in new grant support, the TRIP Project has expanded its efforts to investigate the relationships between teaching and research in international relations (IR) and policymaking. In addition to its well-known surveys of IR scholars and policymakers, TRIP is posing policy questions directly to academics through “snap polls” on the pressing international issues of the day. Student researchers also continue to catalogue and code some 5,000 IR journal articles going back more than three decades.

The Center for African Development (CAD) conducts policy-relevant research to address some of the most pressing questions in the study of conflict, state-building and development in Africa. From the mobile phone revolution, to the impact of Chinese aid and investment, to the causes of ethno-political exclusion and civil war, to sources of regional inequality, CAD employs rigorous social science analysis and field-based research to meaningfully contribute to key academic and policy debates. CAD is directed by Dr. Philip Roessler, Assistant Professor of Government and expert on African politics. In 2014 CAD launched two new projects.

MOBILE PHONE OWNERSHIP AND EMPOWERMENTThis project addresses the impact of the mobile phone revolution on women in low-income countries, in particular Tanzania. Led by Roessler, Flora Myamba of REPOA, a research institute in Tanzania, Dan Nielson of Brigham Young University and William & Mary students, the project, in collaboration with the social enterprise, Kidogo Kidogo (www.kidogokidogo.com), evaluates the impact of mobile phone ownership on women’s empowerment in Tanzania. Kidogo Kidogo (Swahili for “little by little”) operates a “buy one, give one” mobile phone initiative, in which it sells iPhone cases designed by a Tanzanian-based artist and for each case sold donates a mobile phone or mobile phone credit to a woman in Tanzania. Roessler and his students have designed a field experiment to measure the impact of Kidogo Kidogo’s “mobile phone drops” on beneficiaries’ social connectedness, income generation, personal safety and access to healthcare.

CHINA AND THE AFRICAN STATEFocusing on the political impact of increased Chinese aid and investment flows on recipient states in Africa, this project, led by Robert Blair of Yale University and Roessler, will conduct a series of field surveys, lab-in-the-field experiments and observational studies in Liberia, Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo to better understand the subnational impact of Chinese investment and development projects on state capacity and legitimacy. In April 2014, Blair and Roessler received initial funding from USAID’s Democracy Fellows and Grants Program administered by the Institute of International Education.

The Violent Intranational Political Conflict and Terrorism (VIPCAT) Lab uses event data, political science theory and computer science to forecast violent events in foreign countries. VIPCAT’s state-of-the-art datasets on violent events and political actors are culled from more sources and contain more detailed data than any comparable dataset.

VIPCAT researchers use this extensive collection of data to develop sophisticated computer models that forecast wars, riots, rebellions and coups. This advanced technology is deployed with the U.S. government’s Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (ICEWS) in a number of military combatant commands to help commanders anticipate and more effectively respond to outbreaks of violence and political instability.

Bosnia Project

The 14-year old Bosnia Project, an effective example of internationalization at the College of William & Mary, is the oldest international service program and has the longest in-country field service experience. The Bosnia Project matches students from different majors across W&M with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bosnia-Herzegovina (hereafter, Bosnia). Its mission is to bring together W&M and Bosnian students to foster cross-cultural understanding and leadership and empower Bosnian youth. W&M students partner with the University of Sarajevo to develop lesson plans and teach free, three-hour-long English lessons to 70-100 children, daily for four weeks. The experience involves Bosnian community partners, co-teachers and host families.

Next year, a new three-week research component will expand students’ knowledge and complement the project’s longtime commitment to service. In fall 2014, W&M students will evaluate the project’s impact on the Bosnian community by analyzing data collected over the summer. The project evaluation will inform the design of the program in the following summer. This newly-developed element links the project year over year, layering service, learning and research together with the Bosnian community. To

honor the inter-disciplinary foundation of the group, students will choose one social-scientific research project involving post-conflict reconstruction, conflict resolution or cross-cultural education, and one humanities project focusing on film production and international journalism. Production of short fiction and documentary films that the students write and act in during the summer gives the Bosnian students opportunities to use the English they learn in a creative and empowering way. A Red Carpet Film Screening caps off the summer school, with W&M team members acting as paparazzi for students arriving with their families to view their short films, later to be posted on YouTube.
