To all my students--
This quick post will hopefully get you familiar with a few of the datasets we'll be talking about in class throughout the semester. I'll probably most often mention the Correlates of War Project, and their datasets on Militarized Interstate Disputes (MIDs), State System, Alliances, etc... (follow the links from the main page for these).
We'll also often talk about the Polity Project at the University of Maryland and how it defines democracy. (You have to register to get the data, but just take a look at the front page, the updates, and get a sense for the changes in the data and their coding procedures.)
