Civil Strife Conflict Magnitudes, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: Global
Time period: 1955-01-01--1970-12-31
This data collection provides aggregate measures of the magnitude and intensity of civil conflicts that occurred between 1955-1970 in up to 115 countries. The variables were derived by aggregating and weighting the information on specific conflict events contained in CIVIL STRIFE EVENTS, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531). Included are measures of "scope," indexed by number of man-days of participation per 100,000 population, and "intensity," indexed by number of deaths per 10 million population. Separate and mutually exclusive sets of magnitude measures are constructed for domestic and anti-foreign conflicts, violent and non-violent political conflicts, and turmoil and rebellion. An alternative measure of intensity is calculated by weighting total deaths by number of participants, across all events, but is not combined into any magnitude scores. Three data files include five-year aggregations: Part 1 for 1955-1960, covering ten countries, Part 2 for 1961-1965, covering 115 countries, and Part 3 for 1966-1970, covering 87 countries. Two additional files provide annual aggregations: Part 4 contains data for all 115 countries for the period 1961-1970, and Part 5 includes information only for the ten countries on which data were collected for every year between 1955-1970. A related study, CONFLICT AND SOCIETY (ICPSR 7452), contains indicators for the independent variables selected to test causal relationships with these events.

Time period: 1919-01-01--1966-12-31
The data for this study were collected to provide information on patterns of domestic conflict behavior in 111 independent countries for the years 1919-1966. The variables record the occurrence of riots, anti-government demonstrations, purges, major government crises, strikes, coups, revolutions, assassinations, and guerrilla war. Data exist for the full 42 years for 52 of the countries, but for the other 59 countries data exist for less than 42 years. Data may be obtained in either of two formats: nations as cases or nation/years as cases. In the first format one case would be "Canada" and possible variables would be "riots-1919," etc. In the second format, "Canada-1919" and "Canada-1920" would be possible cases, and "riots" would appear as a variable.

Civil Strife Events, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: Global
Time period: 1955-01-01--1970-12-31
This study contains information about instances of internal conflict or violence that occurred in various countries or political entities between 1955-1970. Data were collected from serial publications on any overt collective confrontation between private and/or public groups that took place within the boundaries of a political system. Events in over 100 countries were recorded for the period 1961-1965. From the original group of countries, 87 were also coded for civil strife events occurring between 1966-1970, and a stratified sample of 10 political entities designed to represent countries at different levels of economic development was further investigated for the period 1955-1960. Each event was coded for approximately 90 characteristics, including date and duration of event, type and number of participants, location, type of event, motives of actors, and amounts of violence. Related studies CIVIL STRIFE CONFLICT MAGNITUDES, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485) and CONFLICT AND SOCIETY (ICPSR 7452) contain, respectively, measures of the magnitude and intensity of the events covered in the present study and indicators for the independent variables selected to test causal relationships with these events.

This study contains data on 6,754 political instability events in 84 selected nations in the period 1948-1965. These data, which permit measurement of political instability and the correlates of internal conflict behavior, are concerned with conflict directed by groups and individuals in the prevailing political system against other groups or persons, and with uncovering the determinants of stability within all national political systems. The variables in the dataset are divided into four basic types: variables that identify events, classify events, describe events, and evaluate events. The study provides a conflict intensity rating for each event. Political instability events are classified from low to high and include institutionally prescribed elections, the fall of cabinets, martial laws, assassinations of significant group leaders, mass arrests, coup d'etats, and civil wars.
