Levant data sets:

Folder containing CAMEO-coded events (N=165,812 in original, including internal documentation; N= 149,481 after duplicate filtering); coverage is April 1979 to March, 2015. TABARI coding dictionaries and indices are also included. Source is Reuters. This version of the data uses ISO-3166 ALPHA-3 country codes and CAMEO sub-state actor coding conventions, and was coded using the latest version of TABARI (0.7.6B2), so at present it is our best version of the Levant data.

Folder containing CAMEO-coded events (N=269,203 in original, including internal documentation; N= 246,382 after duplicate filtering); coverage is April 1979 to March 2015. TABARI coding dictionaries and indices -- which are the same as used with the Reuters data -- are also included. Source is AFP where available, otherwise Reuters -- see the Read.Me.txt file for details.

This is a very substantial revision of the AFP sequences that we produced prior to the June 2009 version and corrects for an assortment of misplaced files as well as systematically filling in for periods where AFP is unavailable on Lexis-Nexis. If you need the older files for replication purposes, contact us.

Folder containing WEIS-coded events (N=190,784); coverage is April 1979 to March 2005. TABARI coding dictionaries are also included. This version of the data uses ISO-3166 ALPHA-3 country codes and CAMEO sub-state actor coding conventions, so a number of the codes are quite different than those used in earlier Levant data sets. It combines Reuters and AFP sources; there is a fairly serious discontinuity where the sources switch.
