UCDP Onset Dataset
UCDP provides onset datasets for interstate and intrastate conflict, coding onsets in three distinct ways for each type of conflict, resulting in six distinct datasets. All datasets contain variables recording onsets of new armed conflict, and re-starts of previously active armed conflict after 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 20-years of inactivity. v. 23.1
UCDP Peace Agreement Dataset
The Peace Agreement dataset, that covers peace agreements signed between at least two opposing primary warring parties in an armed conflict that appear in the UCDP Dyadic Dataset v. 23.1. 1975-2021.
UCDP Actor Dataset
A dataset of all the actors (including their full names and alternate names) as available in UCDP datasets version 22.1. The dataset also includes information on which conflicts and dyads the actors have been involved in, as well as information on the groups' origins and alliances.
UCDP Violent Political Protest Dataset
A dyad-year dataset identifying violent political protests, 1989-2019. It presents a new –standalone- category of organized violence, which complements, and is compatible with, UCDP’s three categories of organized violence: one-sided violence, non-state, and state-based conflict.
Cities and Armed Conflict Events (CACE)
The Cities and Armed Conflict Events (CACE) dataset constitutes an extension of the UCDP-GED. CACE provides a systematic coding of whether these armed conflict events took place in cities. To identify which events of armed conflict took place in cities, the data was manually matched to data from the United Nations Statistics Division. The current version is based on UCDP-GED v 18.1.
UCDP Conflict Termination Dataset version 3-2021
This dataset provides information on specific start- and end- dates for conflict activity and means of termination for each conflict episode. The data is available as a conflict-level dataset which corresponds with the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset v 21.1, and a dyad-level dataset which corresponds with the UCDP Dyadic Dataset v. 21.1.
UCDP Non-state Conflict Issues and Actors Dataset
A dyad-year dataset containing information on conflict issues and key actor characteristics in non-state conflict. The dataset covers non-state conflicts in Africa, 1989-2011 and is compatible with the UCDP Non-State Conflict Dataset v. 2.5-2016.
The data builds on and extends the UCDP Non-State Conflict Dataset by introducing additional information on what the actors in the conflict are fighting over, alongside actor characteristics. The data set distinguishes between two main categories of issues, territory or authority, in addition to a residual category of other issues.
UCDP External Support in Non-state Conflict Dataset
A dyad-year dataset containing information on external support in non-state conflict. The dataset covers non-state conflicts in Africa, 1989-2011 and is compatible with the UCDP Non-State Conflict Dataset v. 2.5-2016.
The data builds on and extends the UCDP External Support Dataset and the UCDP Non-State Conflict Dataset by introducing additional information on external support to warring parties in non-state conflicts.
UCDP External Support Dataset (ESD)
A dataset providing information on the existence, type, and provider of external support for all warring parties (actors) coded as active in UCDP data, on an annual basis, between 1975 and 2017. The ESD builds on the UCDP Dyadic Dataset 18.1 derived from the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset 18.1 but goes beyond the dyad-level and offers the warring party-opponent-year (actor-year) as well as the warring-party-supporter-opponent-year (or triad-year) as units of analysis in addition to the dyad-year.
When using the ESD, researchers can choose between the following three different units of analysis: the triad-year version (ESD TY), the actor-year version (ESD AY), and the dyad-year version (ESD DY). Further units of analysis, e.g. at the conflict-level or the actor-level, can be created from the triad-year version.
ESD AY: Actor-year The actor-year dataset (ESD AY) contains all support a recipient receives in a given dyad-year. If more than one external supporter provides external support, the external support is combined and presented as aggregate measures. It thus contains one observation (row) for each actor per dyad-year. This version is appropriate where the focus rests on the recipients of external support regardless of which external supporters provide the support.
ESD DY: Dyad-year The dyad-level dataset (ESD DY) is the most aggregated version of the three datasets and presents information on external support to the conflict-dyad as a whole at the dyad-year unit of analysis. If more than one external supporter provides external support, the external support is combined and presented as aggregate measures. As such it contains one observation (row) for each dyad per year. This version is appropriate where existing data is in a dyad-year structure or the focus rests on the impact of external support on conflict more generally.
