Description
| The Disaggregated Conflict Dataset (DISCON) has been jointly released by Dr. Christoph Trinn, Institute for Political Science, Heidelberg, and the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research (HIIK). DISCON is based on a broad-based, integrative concept of conflict. Drawing on news sources and academic analyses, DISCON currently comprises data on 156 violent and non-violent conflicts between states, between governments and rebel groups, and among non-state actors and in Asia and Oceania from 2000 to 2014. It is to be continually supplemented and updated. Whereas existing conflict datasets mainly restrict themselves to the number of fatalities as a measure of conflict intensity, the Heidelberg approach considers other consequences of political violence, as well. These include the number of displaced persons and the extent of destruction. In addition, the means of violence - weapons or personnel deployment - are recorded. Every violent conflict is broken down into months and first-level subnational regions such as provinces and states, and its intensity is assessed on the basis of the five indicators. In all, DISCON contains over 6300 region-month intensities with about 31,600 individual assessments. |
