Argentina Conflict Events: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides this weekly dataset of aggregated conflict counts for Argentina. It tracks political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events organized by country-year and country-month intervals. The data is updated weekly to reflect the most recent reported incidents.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in civilian-targeting events using country-month aggregates
• Comparing annual demonstration event counts to identify periods of high social unrest
• Correlating political violence totals with national policy changes or election cycles

Strengths

• Standardized ACLED event categorization
• Weekly update frequency
• Includes specific civilian-targeting metrics

Limitations

• Aggregated format lacks granular incident-level detail
• Geographically restricted to Argentina
• Full event-level data is gated behind external registration
