5. Measuring the Variables
In order to test my argument, we need empirical measures of the following four
variables: impartiality; commitment problem type; intervention strategy; and intervention
success. I operationalize these variables as follows.
Impartiality: As discussed in chapter 1, conceptually impartiality is most usefully
defined as a continuous variable that represents the degree to which an actor lacks
substantive preferences over how two or more disputants divide a contested good.
Although useful analytically, this definition does not tell us much about how to measure
impartiality empirically. Actors’ preferences are not directly observable, while the actual
the parties in the implementation of the agreement, I coded the third party that made the greatest personnel
commitment as the principal intervener.
