Description

The ETH Ethnic Power Relations (EPR-ETH) dataset is based on the original dataset EPR v.1.1 and identifies all politically relevant ethnic groups and their access to state power in every country of the world from 1946 to 2009. It includes annual data on over 790 groups and codes the degree to which their representatives held executive-level state power—from total control of the government to overt political discrimination.

Data

The latest version of the EPR-ETH data (Version 2.0) is available in research-ready country-year and group-year format from the GROW^up Research Front-End data portal.
