Abstract

War takes many forms in the contemporary era, including serious military conflicts between states (inter-state war), between states and non-state actors (extra-state war), and within states (intra-state war). This data set records such events over the 1816-1997 period. Version 3.0 of the Correlates of War Extra-State War data set identifies extrastate wars and their participants between 1816 and 1997.

In any papers or publications that utilize this data set, users are asked to give the version number and cite the article of record for the data set, as follows:
