Uruguay: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstration Event Counts

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides this weekly updated dataset of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Uruguay. The data is structured as aggregations by country-year and country-month to track conflict trends over time.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data sourced from ACLED, a specialized conflict monitoring organization
• Weekly update frequency
• Distinguishes between three specific event types: political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents sub-national geospatial analysis
• Full event-level data requires external registration and API access
