Cline Center Coup D’état Project Dataset

Coups d'état are important events in the life of a country. They constitute an important subset of irregular transfers of political power that can have significant and enduring consequences for national well-being. There are only a limited number of datasets available to study these events (Powell and Thyne 2011, Marshall and Marshall 2019). Seeking to facilitate research on post-WWII coups by compiling a more comprehensive list and categorization of these events, the Cline Center for Advanced Social Research (previously the Cline Center for Democracy) initiated the Coup D'état Project as part of its Societal Infrastructures and Development (SID) project. More specifically, this dataset identifies the outcomes of coup events (i.e. realized or successful coups, unrealized coup attempts, or thwarted conspiracies) the type of actor(s) who initiated the coup (i.e. military, rebels, etc.), as well as the fate of the deposed leader. This is version 2.0.0 of this dataset. The first version, <a href="https://clinecenter.illinois.edu/project/research-themes/democracy-and-development/coup-detat-project">v.1.0.0</a>, was released in 2013. Since then, the Cline Center has taken several steps to improve on the previously-released data. These changes include: <ol> <li>Filling in missing event data values</li> <li>Removing events with no identifiable dates</li> <li>Reconciling event dates from sources that have conflicting information</li> <li>Removing events with insufficient sourcing (each event now has at least two sources)</li> <li>Removing events that were inaccurately coded and did not meet our definition of a coup event</li> <li>Extending the time period covered from 1945-2005 to 1945-2019</li> <li>Removing certain variables that fell below the threshold of inter-coder reliability required by the project</li> <li>The spreadsheet ‘CoupInventory.xls’ was removed because of inadequate attribution and citation in the event summaries</li></ol> <b>Items in this Dataset</b> 1. <i>CDP v.2.0.1 Codebook.pdf</i> <ul><li>This 14-page document provides a description of the Cline Center Coup D’état Project Dataset. The first section of this codebook provides a succinct definition of a coup d’état used by the project and an overview of the categories used to differentiate the wide array of events that meet the project's definition. It also defines coup outcomes. The second section describes the methodology used to produce the data. <i>Created November 2020.

政变乃国家生命历程中的重大事件，构成了不规则权力转移的重要子集，可能对国家福祉产生深远且持久的影响。目前可用于研究此类事件的数据库数量有限（Powell and Thyne 2011，Marshall and Marshall 2019）。为便于研究二战后政变，并编制这些事件的更全面清单和分类，克莱恩高级社会研究学院（原克莱恩民主中心）在其社会基础设施与发展（SID）项目中启动了政变项目。具体而言，本数据集旨在识别政变事件的结果（即已实现或成功的政变、未实现的政变企图或被挫败的阴谋），发起政变的参与者类型（即军方、叛军等），以及被推翻领导人的命运。这是本数据集的2.0.0版本。首个版本（v.1.0.0）于2013年发布。自那时起，克莱恩学院已采取多项措施改进先前发布的数据。这些变化包括：

<ol>
<li>填补缺失的事件数据值</li>
<li>删除无明确日期的事件</li>
<li>调和来源信息冲突的事件日期</li>
<li>删除来源不足的事件（每个事件现在至少有两个来源）</li>
<li>删除编码不准确且不符合我们政变事件定义的事件</li>
<li>将涵盖的时间范围从1945-2005年扩展至1945-2019年</li>
<li>删除低于项目所需跨编码者可靠性的阈值的某些变量</li>
<li>因事件摘要中缺乏归属和引用，删除了电子表格‘CoupInventory.xls’</li>
</ol>
