Description of ICEWS: "International Crisis Early Warning System, the ICEWS project, which the U.S. government established to analyze political instability around the world and provide relevant policy advice. Funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Office of Naval Research, ICEWS created near-real-time global event data covering over 175 countries and news sources from roughly 300 different news outlets (Boschee, Lautenschlager, O’Brien, Shellman, Starz and Ward 2015).3 To code events, ICEWS utilizes the Penn State Event Data Project’s TABARI (Text Analysis By Augmented Replacement Instruction) software and a commercially developed java variant (JABARI), which parse and stem corpus to facilitate machine identification of political relevant parameters based on the Conflict and Mediation Event Observation (CAMEO) codebook (Schrodt 2009, 2012; Boschee, Natarajan and Weischedel 2013)."
