本文介绍了ACLED，一个武装冲突地点和事件数据集。ACLED对叛军、政府和民兵在不稳定国家内的行动进行编码，具体说明战斗事件、军事控制权移交、总部设立、平民暴力和骚乱的确切地点和日期。在目前的版本中，数据集涵盖了从1997年到2010年的50个不稳定国家。ACLED对内战和跨国暴力事件的分类使人们能够研究地方一级的因素以及国内和社区冲突的动态。国家以下冲突研究的结果挑战了更大规模的国家一级研究的结论。在简短的描述性分析中，作者发现，平均而言，冲突覆盖了一个国家15%的领土，但几乎一半的国家可能直接受到国内战争的影响。
This article presents ACLED, an Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset. ACLED codes the actions of rebels, governments, and militias within unstable states, specifying the exact location and date of battle events, transfers of military control, headquarter establishment, civilian violence, and rioting. In the current version, the dataset covers 50 unstable countries from 1997 through 2010. ACLED's disaggregation of civil war and transnational violent events allow for research on local level factors and the dynamics of civil and communal conflict. Findings from subnational conflict research challenges conclusions from larger national-level studies. In a brief descriptive analysis, the authors find that, on average, conflict covers 15% of a state's territory, but almost half of a state can be directly affected by internal wars.
