Correlates
of War (COW)
|
- The Correlates of War (COW) Project is an ongoing
effort to study and explore the conditions associated
with the outbreak of war, as well as with the conditions
surrounding militarized disputes. Begun in 1963 at the
University of Michigan, the COW Project has produced over
one hundred and fifty journal articles and book chapters
as well as more than a dozen books. The COW Project is
widely considered to have one of the top data collection
programs in the field of political science, and a
substantial period of time the Project has been one of
the most frequently cited among individuals conducting
quantitative reseach in comparative and international
politics. For additional information on the origins and
development of the Correlates of War Project, please
