Dimensions of Conflict Behavior Within and Between Nations, 1955-1960

These data focus on the dimensions of domestic and foreign conflict behavior of nations in the period 1955-1960. The product of two separate studies conducted by Rudolph J. Rummel and Raymond Tanter utilizing identical variables for the time periods 1955-1957 and 1958-1960, respectively, this dataset gauges domestic conflict behavior with measures such as number of assassinations, general strikes, major government crises, purges, riots, anti-government demonstrations, revolutions, domestic violence deaths, and the presence or absence of guerilla warfare. Other variables such as the number of anti-foreign demonstrations, negative sanctions, protests, countries with which diplomatic relations were severed, expulsion or recall of ambassadors, threats, mobilizations, accusations, troop movements, deaths in foreign violence, presence or absence of military action, and war measure foreign conflict behavior.

本数据集聚焦1955年至1960年间各国国内与国际冲突行为的维度特征。该数据集由鲁道夫·J·拉梅尔（Rudolph J. Rummel）与雷蒙德·坦特（Raymond Tanter）分别针对1955-1957年、1958-1960年两个时段开展的两项独立研究整合而成，两项研究采用了完全一致的变量体系。本数据集通过以下指标衡量国内冲突行为：暗杀事件数、总罢工次数、重大政府危机数、清洗运动次数、骚乱次数、反政府示威次数、革命次数、国内暴力死亡人数，以及游击战是否发生。其余变量则用于衡量国际冲突行为，包括反外示威次数、负面制裁次数、抗议次数、断交国家数、驱逐或召回大使次数、威胁次数、动员次数、指控次数、部队调动次数、国外暴力死亡人数，以及军事行动是否发生、战争相关举措等。
