The Issue Correlates of War (ICOW) Project Issue Data Set: Territorial Claims Data

The ICOW project is currently collecting data on territorial issues in all regions of the world since 1816, compiled into several related data files. The first file identifies territorial claims, or explicit claims by official government representatives of at least two sovereign nation-states to the same piece of territory, and includes basic claim-level information such as the overall beginning and ending of the claim and the form of claim termination. The second file is organized by claim-dyad-years and includes one data point for each year of each claimant dyad, with information on details such as the characteristics of the claimed territory. The third and final data file covers attempts to settle these territorial claims through bilateral negotiations or with third party assistance (good offices, mediation, inquiry, conciliation, arbitration, or adjudication), and includes details such as the beginning, ending, and effectiveness of each settlement attempt.

ICOW项目目前正收集1816年以来全球各地区的领土争端相关数据，并将其整合为多份关联数据文件。首个文件用于标识领土主张——即至少两个主权民族国家的官方政府代表对同一片领土提出的明确主权主张，同时涵盖主张层面的基础信息，例如主张的整体起止时限与主张终止形式。第二份文件以主张双边年度（claim-dyad-years）为组织维度，为每一组主张双边组合的每一年生成一条数据记录，包含主张领土的特征等细节信息。第三份也是最后一份数据文件，涵盖通过双边谈判或第三方协助（包括斡旋、调解、调查、和解、仲裁与司法裁决）解决此类领土主张的各类尝试，并收录每项和解尝试的起止时间、有效性等细节信息。
