The causes of armed conflict is most common focus among conflict researchers, and the Armed Conflict Dataset has repeatedly been used to analyze this problem. Previous versions have not contained an authoritative definition of what an onset is, and this has caused unnecessary confusion. With this release, we also provide users with a clear and user-friendly operational definition of conflict onset.
The data are available in two versions, country-year and calendar-time The country-year file is based on the Gleditsch/Ward definition of the international system, and will inform the user whether the year observed an onset or not. All users of the Uppsala/PRIO data will know that a key question in this respect is how many years on inactivity we must observe within one dyad before we code a new onset between previously active parties. The country-year file comes with three pre-defined cutoff points of two, five and eight years, which allows for limited robustness checks.
