Network Analysis of Global Diplomatic Interactions through Bureaucrats, Time, and Space
This research project aims to record the global diplomatic relations of 175 sovereign states using advanced computational techniques and investigate the inter-state interaction networks. The proposed project is essential in suggesting an innovative perspective to International Relations and Political Science, stemming from its potential to address various political, economic, and security-related questions. With state-of-art computational methods in natural language processing and machine learning, it is now possible to extract this valuable information from textual sources. This project will involve the collection of data, network analysis, and three distinct empirical findings relating to the dynamics of global diplomatic relations. Thus, not only will it demonstrate how computational methods can be applied to the discipline, but it will also illuminate how central concepts such as "power", "Distribution of Power", "balance of power", and "multipolarity" can be interpreted with the new data. We expect that diplomatic dataset, which is a project outcome, will allow scholars in the field to ask their own unique questions.
