LEGACIES
Understanding how historical states affect conflict and democracy today
Welcome to the project website of the LEGACIES project! Our project aims to understand how historical and precolonial states have shaped modern institutional outcomes and forms of dissent by developing new theoretical frameworks for understanding the legacies of historical states and testing those frameworks using new data that maps the international system between 1750 and 1920.
