Coming Soon! Correlates of War complete dataset!

The Correlates of War project was the brainchild of Professor J. David Singer. Singer, a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan, set out to identify and study those factors that account for war. Since its inception in 1963, the COW Project has continually conducted systematic and quantitative studies pertaining to warfare. Data pertaining to militarized disputes, interstate and civil wars, national capabilities, and alliances are some of the more popularly used datasets. COW is one of the most often used datasets in international relations and has informed the work of hundreds of scholars across the globe.
