UCDP Conflict Data Analysis

UCDP conflict data analysis is the coding and quantitative study of organized violence using the datasets of the Uppsala Conflict Data Program. UCDP distinguishes three categories of organized violence — state-based armed conflict, non-state conflict, and one-sided violence against civilians — and codes them from the level of individual fatal events up to annual conflict dyads. The Georeferenced Event Dataset (UCDP-GED), introduced by Sundberg and Melander (2013), pins each event to a place and date, enabling fine-grained spatial and temporal analysis of where and when violence occurs.
