Greece Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence

Weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Greece are maintained by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The data is organized into country-year and country-month aggregations, with the most recent update recorded in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Greek political violence using country-month aggregation
• Comparing annual frequencies of civilian-targeting events versus general demonstrations
• Monitoring weekly shifts in reported conflict levels for regional risk assessment

Strengths

• Data is sourced from ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update frequency provides high temporal resolution for trend monitoring
• Distinguishes between specific event types such as civilian-targeting and political violence

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents sub-national geospatial analysis
• Access to full event-level data requires external registration and API usage
