PRIO and Uppsala also have datasets that may be of interest. For example, PRIO has a Center for the Study of Civil War: http://www.prio.no/CSCW/Datasets I was at PRIO some three years ago doing a study with Norway's former Secretary of State to try and empirically assess the impact of armed conflict on women's health. We used PRIO's battle deaths dataset as our proxy for armed conflict: http://www.prio.no/CSCW/Datasets/Armed-Conflict/Battle-Deaths PRIO's Armed Conflict and Location Event dataset (ACLED) may also be of interest: http://www.acleddata.com/index-ACLED-NEW.html Cheers, Patrick Hi Chris,
