人们普遍认为，自然资源，特别是钻石，在国内武装冲突的爆发和持续期间起着重要作用。虽然有大量的案例研究证据表明，钻石和类似资源被反叛团体用来资助战斗，但很少有系统的实证研究评估可掠夺资源在国内冲突中的作用。这主要是由于缺乏关于生产和地点的可靠数据。在这篇文章中，我们讨论了收集与冲突有关的资源数据的优先事项，并介绍了一个新的数据集DIADATA，它提供了世界各地钻石矿床的综合清单，并附有地理坐标。该数据集包括与冲突相关的特征，例如生产状态和存款的地质形式。特别重要的是区分原生钻石和次生钻石，因为后者更容易被抢劫。该数据集包含空间和时间维度。
Natural resources, and diamonds especially, are commonly believed to play a significant role in the onset and duration of armed civil conflict. Although there is ample case study evidence that diamonds and similar resources have been used by rebel groups to finance fighting, there are few systematic empirical studies assessing the role of lootable resources in civil conflict. This is largely due to lack of reliable data on production and location. In this article we discuss priorities for the collection of data on conflict-relevant resources and introduce a new dataset, DIADATA, that provides a comprehensive list of diamond deposits accompanied by geographic coordinates throughout the world. The dataset includes characteristics relevant to conflict such as production status and geological form of the deposit. Particularly important is the distinction between primary and secondary diamonds, because the latter are more easily lootable. The dataset incorporates a spatial as well as a temporal dimension.
