Montserrat Conflict Events: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides this weekly dataset tracking political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Montserrat. The data is organized into aggregated country-year and country-month summaries to monitor conflict trends. As of March 2026, it serves as a specialized record of civil and political instability for the territory.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in 'political violence' counts across 'country-year' periods
• Comparing the frequency of 'civilian-targeting' events against 'demonstration' totals
• Monitoring monthly stability shifts using 'country-month' aggregate data

Strengths

• Expert-annotated by ACLED
• Weekly update frequency
• Specific categorization of event types including civilian-targeting and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents granular geospatial analysis of specific incidents
• Small geographic scope limited strictly to Montserrat
• Full event-level details require external registration and API access
