Global Panel Data on Military Influence and Ethnic Exclusion, 1950–2006

A global panel dataset from 157 countries spanning 1950 to 2006, used to analyze the relationship between military influence in civilian institutions and the political and economic exclusion of ethnic minorities. The data integrates sources from the All Minorities at Risk (AMAR) and Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) datasets. It was created by Ahmed Bulbul and is hosted on the Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Modeling the correlation between military influence and ethnic exclusion based on global panel data.
• Analyzing institutional entrenchment and economic co-optation mechanisms described in the study.
• Testing the robustness of findings on ethnic marginalization across different model specifications.
• Investigating structural drivers of democratic resilience and inclusive governance.

Strengths

• Data covers 157 countries, providing a broad geographic scope.
• Temporal coverage spans 56 years from 1950 to 2006.
• Analysis integrates two established sources: the All Minorities at Risk (AMAR) and Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) datasets.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
