This data set contains the data necessary to replicate Table 1 in James D. Fearon and David D. Laitin, Ethnicity,Insurgency, and Civil War, _American Political Science Review_ 97, 1 (February 2003):75-90. A few additional variables are included relevant to claims made in the paper. See Fearon and Laitin, Additional Tables for Ethnicity, Insurgency, and Civil War, at http://www.stanford.edu/group/ethnic/ for more information on the data contained here.

Added Somalia 1981-1991, with 25k deaths, halving the 50k reported by Africa Watch in 1990, cited in Brogan.

Changed Bangladesh 1982-1998 to 1976-1997 based on Brogan, and doubled the dth estimate from 3000 to 6000, which still seems conservative given various sources, though no sharp estimate can be found.

Added Burundi 1988 after reading Lemarchand, although it is borderline a societal violence type case.

Added India 1982 (Khalistan), using 21469 for total deaths, from KPS Gill, Faultlines, vol 1, no. 1.

Added India 1952, guessing 10k for total deaths.

Based on Lintner, changed to one continuous war in Burma, assigned it 60k deaths, although Brogan says 40k, but even 60k is likely to be absurdly conservative.
