Description

This study concerns the behavior of various states involved in 38 interstate crises over the past 160 years. In particular, it follows the attempts of these states to influence others, and the responses generated over the course of the crises. The sample reflects a broad historical range of crises and includes those which involve war as well as ones that do not involve war. Each data file contains a crisis or set of crises. Within each data file the cases represent actions taken during the crisis period. The data allow for a micro level of analysis with measures that distinguish a wide range of cooperative and conflictive interstate actions. In addition, measures are included which are sensitive to the mix of different behaviors and which record the tempo of the action within given time intervals. The Crisis program provided allows for the counting and scaling of events.
