Abstract
Professor Peter Wallensteen is the Dag Hammarskjöld Professor of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University, Sweden, and is also Research Professor of Peace Studies at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, USA. He is the director and founder of the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), which since 1982 has recorded ongoing violent conflicts and collected information on an expanding range of aspects of armed violence, including conflict dynamics and resolution. The UCDP data are one of the most widely-used data sources on global armed conflicts, and its definition of armed conflict is becoming a standard in conflict studies. The UCDP has made its findings available in an online database at www.ucdp.uu.se
