The total number of conflict-episodes identified between 19 is 347, with a total of 627 dyad-episodes. One conflict can include more than one dyad. This is done both at the conflict level, and at the dyadic level, a dyad is defined by UCDP as a conflict between two armed actors, while a state-based conflict is defined as an armed conflict over a stated incompatibility, where at least one of the actors is the government of a state. The conflict is counted as recurring when there is at least one calendar year between the last event in the previous episode, and the first event in the following episode. The episodes identified in the PRIO Conflict Recurrence Database follows the state-based conflicts identified by UCDP data, but are extended to include all violent event related to that conflict, rather than relying on the commonly used 25-death threshold.
This new dataset expands and deepens our understanding of when, where and under what conditions armed conflicts persist and recur. By building upon the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset, scholars interested in PCJ can include variables regarding the nature of the conflict itself to test how PCJ arrangements work in different environments in order to better address the relationships between justice, truth, and peace in the post-conflict period.The PRIO Conflict Recurrence Database extends on already existing data on organized violence by Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) (Gleditsch, Wallensteen, Eriksson, Sollenberg, & Strand, 2002 Sundberg & Melander, 2013). The post-conflict justice (PCJ) efforts included are: trials, truth commissions, reparations, amnesties, purges, and exiles. The dataset includes all extrasystemic, internationalized internal, and internal armed conflicts from 1946 to 2006, with at least 25 annual battle-related deaths as coded by the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset. These data allow scholars to address hypotheses regarding justice following war and the effect that these institutions have on transitions to peace. Featuring justice and accountability processes, the dataset focuses solely on possible options to address wrongdoings that are implemented following and relating to a given armed conflict. The Post-Conflict Justice (PCJ) Dataset provides an overview of if, where, and how post-conflict countries address the wrongdoings committed in association with previous armed conflict.
