Non-State Actor Data

The Non-State Actor Data expand the information in the Uppsala Armed Conflict Data about civil conflicts in two directions: 1) information about the non-state actors involved in civil conflict and 2) information about the external dimensions conflicts, including external support and extraterritorial features.

These data are a collaborative project between David E. Cunningham, Kristian Skrede Gleditsch, and Idean Salehyan
