本文扩展了乌普萨拉冲突数据计划（Uppsala Conflict Data Program， UCDP），提供了关于非国家冲突或两组之间的武装冲突（两者都不是国家）的新的全球数据。该数据集包括反叛团体和其他有组织的民兵之间的冲突，因此可以作为现有武装冲突数据集的补充，这些数据集要么忽略了这类暴力，要么将其汇总为内战。该数据集还包括不同政党支持者之间的战斗案例，以及社区冲突案例，即两个社会群体之间的冲突，通常以种族或宗教为界限。因此，这扩展了UCDP的冲突数据收集，以促进诸如反叛分子的分裂，准军事部队参与冲突暴力以及社区或种族冲突等主题的研究。在本文中，我们介绍了数据收集的背景，并提供了1989-2008年期间的描述性统计数据，然后说明了如何将这些数据用于索马里的情况。这些数据超越了以国家为中心的集体暴力概念，有助于研究在没有国家参与的情况下发生的群体暴力的原因和后果。
This article extends the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) by presenting new global data on non-state conflict, or armed conflict between two groups, neither of which is the state. The dataset includes conflicts between rebel groups and other organized militias, and thus serves as a complement to existing datasets on armed conflict which have either ignored this kind of violence or aggregated it into civil war. The dataset also includes cases of fighting between supporters of different political parties as well as cases of communal conflict, that is, conflict between two social groups, usually identified along ethnic or religious lines. This thus extends UCDP’s conflict data collection to facilitate the study of topics like rebel fractionalization, paramilitary involvement in conflict violence, and communal or ethnic conflict. In the article, we present a background to the data collection and provide descriptive statistics for the period 1989–2008 and then illustrate how the data can be used with the case of Somalia. These data move beyond state-centric conceptions of collective violence to facilitate research into the causes and consequences of group violence which occurs without state participation.
