This data collection centers on the origins of violent non-state actors around the world from 1946-2010. We trace the organizational and social origins of rebel groups. This includes the characteristics of groups at the founding stages related to social identification and political agenda, as well as pre-rebellion political organization and participation.

Leader Ascension & Rebellion with Katherine Sawyer
This project examines of ways in which rebel leaders come to power in contemporary rebellion. Examining all rebel groups active after 1989, based on the PRIO/Uppsala Conflict Data Project, we identify specific leaders and categorize their ascension type. These include ascension as founders, by election, by inheritance (following death or imprisonment of incumbent), by splintering off existing group, though the merging of existing rebel groups, being installed by third party, and being selected by a cadre of rebel officers.
