Commercial Military Actor Database_V1

This Commercial Military Actor Database (CMAD) is aimed at supporting research on civil war and commercial military actors. First, the CMAD covers all civil wars from 1980 to 2016 across all of the world’s regions except Europe, which enables the investigation of long-term regional and global trends. Second, the CMAD encompasses the corporate market segment and mercenary outfits, which facilitates the analysis of how those actors have impacted conflicts differently. Third, containing detailed information about the relationships behind exchanges, the CMAD allows users to disaggregate market exchanges. This is the first version of the Commercial Military Actor Dataset (2021), which was used for the Journal of Conflict Resolution publication.本商业军事行为体数据库（Commercial Military Actor Database，CMAD）旨在为内战与商业军事行为体相关研究提供支撑。其一，该数据库覆盖了1980年至2016年间全球除欧洲以外所有地区的内战，可支持对长期区域及全球趋势的研究。其二，该数据库涵盖企业军事市场板块与雇佣兵组织，便于分析此类行为体对冲突产生的差异化影响。其三，该数据库包含交易背后关联关系的详细信息，支持用户对市场交易进行拆解分析。本数据集为2021年发布的首个版本，曾被用于《冲突解决期刊》（Journal of Conflict Resolution）的学术发表。
