Abstract:

Power is considered by many to be a central concept in explaining conflict, and six indicators—military expenditure, military personnel, energy consumption, iron and steel production, urban population, and total population—are included in this data set. It serves as the basis for the most widely used indicator of national capability, CINC (Composite Indicator of National Capability) and covers the period 1816-2001. <br /><br /> The National Material Capabilites data set contains annual values for total population, urban population, iron and steel production, energy consumption, military personnel, and military expenditure of all state members, currently from 1816-2001. The widely-used Composite Index of National Capability (CINC) index is based on these six variables and included in the data set.<br /><br /> Citation information: <br /><br /> In any papers or publications that utilize this data set, users are asked to give the version number and cite an article of record for the data set, as follows: <br /><br /> Bibliography Entry: <br /><br />Singer, J. David, Stuart Bremer, and John Stuckey. (1972). "Capability Distribution, Uncertainty, and Major Power War, 1820-1965." in Bruce Russett (ed) Peace, War, and Numbers, Beverly Hills: Sage, 19-48.
