New publication in Journal of Conflict Resolution

2017-11-03

We are very happy to announce that project leader Prof. Isak Svensson and Core Group member Associate Prof. Desirée Nilsson's article "Disputes over the Divine: Introducing the Religion and Armed Conflict (RELAC) data, 1975 to 2015" has been published online in Journal of Conflict Resolution.

RELAC codes a range of key religious dimensions in intrastate armed conflicts 1975-2015, and serves as the data foundation for our research project "Resolving Jihadist Conflicts? Religion, Civil War, and Prospects for Peace." The dataset is a valuable resource for scholars analyzing the causes, dynamics, and resolution of religiously defined armed conflicts.
