  • A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111
    Power At Sea: A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111 Brian Benjamin Crisher Florida State University Mark Souva Florida State University Abstract Naval power is a crucial element of state power, yet existing naval datasets are limited to a small number of states and ship types. Here we present 147 years of naval data on all the world’s navies from 1865 to 2011. This country-year dataset focuses on warships with ship-based weapons capable of using kinetic force to inflict damage on other structures or peoples. After identifying a country’s active naval forces, we create a measure of naval power based on the aggregate tonnage of the active ships. Additionally, we create count variables for ship types such as aircraft carriers or battleships. This paper introduces the country-year data, describes variables of interests for use in country-year, dyadic, or systemic studies and suggests potential questions of interest scholars could explore using the naval power dataset. 1 We are grateful to David Abitbol, Cameron Cankaya, and Spencer Willis for their hard work as coders on this project. The project also benefited from feedback and suggestions received from the reviewers of International Interactions. Dataset, replication files, and online appendix can be downloaded from the International Interactions Dataverse webpage: http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/dv/internationalinteractions. The naval data will also be available at www.briancrisher.net. Address correspondence to Brian B. Crisher, Department of Political Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA. Email: [email protected] B. Crisher and M. Souva Naval power affects international interactions.
