ETHNIC POWER RELATIONS Access to State Power of Politically Relevant Ethnic Groups, 1946–2005 The Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) dataset identifies all politically relevant ethnic groups and their access to state power in every country of the world from 1946 to 2005. It includes annual data on 733 groups and codes the degree to which their representatives hold executive-level state power — from total control of the government to overt political discrimination.
