ACDC Bibliography

The Advanced Conflict Data Catalogue (ACDC) project has developed a conflict bibliography that contains references to literature on the 253 conflicts in the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset (v.4-2013), covering the period from 1946 to 2012. Primarily based on experts’ recommendations, the bibliography contains more than 1250 references to books, book chapters, articles and reports, dealing with various conflict-related issues such as conflict background, historical development, political and military dynamics, peace processes, and conflict aftermaths. Short descriptions of the conflicts are found in the UCDP Conflict Encyclopedia (UCDP database). For clarification of definitions and further information concerning the dataset, please see the UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflict Dataset Codebook.

PRIO encourages area experts and others to propose further literature to the bibliography. Suggestions and remarks can be sent to bibliography@prio.org. PRIO affiliates can add and edit references through the PRIO intranet. All contributions are highly appreciated.
