Summary:

The behavior of various states involved in 45 interstate crises over the past 164 years is the focus of this data collection. More specifically, these data follow the attempts of these states to influence others and the responses generated over the course of the crises. The sample reflects a broad historical range of crises and includes those that involve war as well as those that do not. Each data file contains information on a crisis or set of crises. Within each data file the cases represent actions taken during the crisis period. The data allow for a micro level of analysis with measures that distinguish a wide range of cooperative and conflictive interstate actions. In addition, measures are included that are sensitive to the mix of different behaviors and that record the tempo of the action within given time intervals. There are two computer programs provided with this data collection. Part 32, the Crisis Program, allows for the counting and scaling of events. Part 43, the Demand Program, searches for demands, and describes and categorizes actions resulting from the demands.... Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR08606
