SUMMARY

The UCDP/PRIO [1] armed conflict database is an initiative of the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) and Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO). It collects, analyzes, and provides free access to over 17 variables and indicators by country and year from 1946 for internal and external armed conflicts "wjhere are at least one party is the government of a state in the time period." With its systematic collection and longevity of time series, the Armed Conflict Database is one of the most important in peace and conflict monitoring and research from academia to across the UN system. Additionally, UCDP/PRIO's new dissemination system allows users to download in Excel, R, and Stata, and the data is made available yearly.

The International Futures model uses the Armed Conflict Database for a number of series including a series that classifies conflict type (interstate, extra state, internal, and external conflict), and another that classifies intensity (minor, intermediate, and war). To pull data, please follow the instructions below.
