Austria Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

A source of weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Austria, produced by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). Data is organized by country-year and country-month intervals to facilitate longitudinal analysis of domestic unrest.

Use Cases

• Analyzing monthly fluctuations in Austrian demonstration events using country-month totals
• Assessing annual trends in political violence through country-year aggregations
• Monitoring the frequency of civilian-targeting incidents over time

Strengths

• Data sourced from ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update cadence ensures current trend monitoring
• Categorizes events into distinct types like civilian-targeting and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format limits analysis to temporal trends rather than spatial mapping
• Full event-level data is gated behind external registration on the ACLED website
