African foreign relations and internal conflict analysis (AFRICA) project, 1964-1966

About this book

This dataset contains 15,000 foreign policy acts for 32 sub-Saharan African nations. Data were collected on a daily basis from January 1, 1964, through December 31, 1965. Acts represent official words or actions toward any other (including non-African) state, leader, international organization or group of states. Each act is coded for 32 variables, including actor, date, target, WEIS action category, type of foreign policy instrument used, and person acting plus a number of five-point scale variables. Regional sources were used.
