Related Datasets From START: Radicalized Ethnic Minorities

In addition to the GTD, researchers at START created and presently maintain the Minorities at Risk Organizational Behavior (MAROB) dataset.

The MAROB dataset is a subsidiary of the Minorities at Risk (MAR) Project. Initiated in 2005, the purpose of this project is to answer fundamental questions focusing on the identification of those factors that motivate some members of ethnic minorities to become radicalized, to form activist organizations, and to move from conventional means of politics and protest into violence and terrorism. Focusing initially on the Middle East and North Africa, the MAROB project provides information on the characteristics of those ethnopolitical organizations most likely to employ violence and terrorism in the pursuit of their perceived grievances with local, national or international authority structures. Future plans include the integration of GTD data with the MAROB dataset.
