Mapping The International System, 1886-2017: The CShapes 2.0 Dataset Full Details

Title:: Mapping The International System, 1886-2017: The CShapes 2.0 Dataset
Description:: Cshapes 2.0 is a GIS dataset that provides historical maps of independent states and dependent territories from 1886 to 2017. Throughout this period, the data records changes in each country’s borders, political status1, and other relevant information, such as changes in a country’s capital. The final dataset comes with an extensive documentation that contains background information on (1): changes in a country’s status, (2) changes in a country’s borders and (3) where applicable, coding decisions. This documentation uses the same basic layout as the EPR-Atlas, which provides detailed information on ethnic groups in each country.
