This dataset contains data on international hostile and amity events. Sixteen types of hostile transactional events are presented in this collection, ranging from protests, accusations, and recall of officials to quasi-military actions, troop mobilizations, and war. Fourteen types of amity events are also covered, ranging from offers to negotiate and confer to exchanges, agreements, and alliances. Events are qualified in nineteen categories, including date, actor, duration, and persons involved. The direction of the event and its retaliatory or nonretaliatory character are also included. These data are of a preliminary nature. Data on approximately 7,000 international events are included in this collection.
