Description

  • Abstract

    The Power-Sharing Event Dataset (PSED) contains information on 41 countries from different continents on the promises and practices of power-sharing between governments and rebels for a five-year period after the conclusion of a peace agreement (unless violence recurred earlier). The collected data covers the period from 1989 to 2006. The main features of the dataset are the specific focus on government-rebel dyads during post-conflict periods, an exact temporal mapping of implemented or abolished power-sharing events, and detailed descriptions for each power-sharing arrangement put into practice. An explanation of the theoretical impetus behind the PSED as well as an in-depth discussion of its concepts, variables and coding procedure can be found in the PSED data feature (publication see below).
