Description Contains all files necessary to replicate analyses, re-assemble dataset, produce Tables and Figures in "Does Electoral Proximity Affect Security Policy?, as well as ancillary data not included in the main parts of the paper. We collected monthly data on troops in Afghanistan in two ways, producing an original dataset of troop commitments to Afghanistan from October 2001 through October 2011. First, we scraped the monthly contributions to ISAF from the official ISAF archive for January 2007 through October 2011. Second, we complemented these numbers with data from individual communication with foreign and defense ministries in each of the contributing states. In total, we gathered data on 50 different states.
