Coding Disaggregated Intrastate Conflict: Machine Processing the Behavior of Substate Actors Over Time and Space

Stephen M. Shellman

Political Analysis, 2008, vol. 16, issue 4, 464-477

Abstract: This article describes a new machine-coded event data set specifically designed to study the spatially, temporally, and tactically disaggregated actions of multiple state and nonstate actors in a systematic fashion. The project develops an extensive set of dictionaries for multiple actors and employs a new coding scheme to organize information on such actors and their behavior. The author describes the machine content-analysis methods used to collect the data and the newly developed coding scheme.
