Abstract

The Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) dataset identifies 733 politically relevant ethnic groups in 155 sovereign states from 1946 to 2005, provides group size estimates, codes the level of access to the executive branch by representatives of these groups in each year, and notes if an armed conflict was fought in the name of a particular ethnic group. The war identification numbers correspond to those in the Ethnic Armed Conflict data-set.
