New Zealand Political Violence and Demonstration Events by Month and Year

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in New Zealand. The data is structured into country-year and country-month summaries to track domestic instability trends through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in New Zealand political violence using country-month event counts
• Comparing annual demonstration frequencies via country-year aggregations
• Monitoring civilian-targeting incident rates over time

Strengths

• Produced by ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update frequency provides near real-time monitoring
• Distinguishes between event types such as political violence and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format lacks granular latitude/longitude coordinates for specific events
• Full event-level descriptions are excluded and require external ACLED registration
• Geographic scope is restricted to New Zealand
