As part of our annual Strategic Monitor initiative, HCSS has released a number of interactive Tableau Stories that each show a portion of the data HCSS has used to generate our findings for the 2016-2017 StratMon Report.
When looking at the news it may be easy to assume that conflict in the world is on the rise, however does the data sufficiently support this? In this year’s StratMon report, HCSS has analyzed global trends in conflict and cooperation among state and non-state actors in order to determine exactly how, when and where the world’s most impactful positive and negative security, military, legal, economic, diplomatic, and informational trends have occured. Using data from the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT), Lockheed Martin’s Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (ICEWS), and the Open Event Data Alliance’s Phoenix database, this Tableau story gives an expansive account of global trends in conflictual and cooperative behavior and takes a closer look at the position of the the Netherlands within the choppy currents of global interaction.
