Uppsala Conflict Data Program
The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) is the world’s main provider of data on organized violence and the oldest ongoing data collection project for civil war, with a history of almost 40 years. Its definition of armed conflict has become the global standard of how conflicts are systematically defined and studied. Explore and download data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program.
ViEWS: a Violence Early-Warning System
ViEWS develops, tests, and iteratively improves a Violence Early-Warning System (ViEWS) that is rigorous, data-based, transparent, and publicly available to researchers and the international community. View the monthly public predictions from ViEWS: a political Violence Early-Warning System.
