Peacification. Data for the elaboration of the social realities peace and security framing constitutes in conflicts.

This data reveals the association between peace and security framing in US presidential speech on the one hand, and the US impact on fatalities in US conflicts on the other. Specifically, it compares the frequency of certain key terms and references in presidential speech from the period 1993-2014, as they were coded from the text in the “Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States”, with statistics on fatalities of organised violence during the same period, drawn from Uppsala University's UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset.

Coverage

Temporal coverage:

From 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2013

Documentation

Data collection method:

The data is based on NVivo content analysis of US Presidential Papers from 1993 until the end of 2013, for the period of humanitarian interventionism. The quantified textual data is then moved to StataB 18 package, and merged with data from Uppsala University's UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset (GED) Global version 24.1: - Davies, Shawn, Garoun Engström, Therese Pettersson & Magnus Öberg (2024). Organized violence 1989-2023, and the prevalence of organized crime groups. Journal of Peace Research 61(4). - Sundberg, Ralph and Erik Melander (2013) Introducing the UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset. Journal of Peace Research 50(4). Some of the word frequency calculations are from the following dataset: - Kivimäki, T., 2019. Coding of US Presidential discourse on protection. Bath: University of Bath Research Data Archive.

Technical details and requirements:

Textual content analysis is created by using NVivo R 1.6 package while the preparation of conflict data has been created by using StataB 18 package.

Additional information:

The data consists of coding of text as explained in the codebook, and monthly observations of conflict data as explained in the codebook and in the associated article.
