As part of my research, I compile datasets on protest events, social movements, conflict and peace studies, and general development of political, social, economic, and environmental dynamics in Eastern Europe and beyond. These datasets are designed to support both my own research projects and the wider research community.
Current Datasets
- Bulgaria and Slovenia Protest Event Dataset (2009–2017)
A systematically coded dataset of all protest events in Bulgaria and Slovenia, covering their triggers, actors, repertoires, and outcomes. Currently, I am preparing the dataset for open access. The dataset was used in multiple research articles in the recent years. - Protest Event Datasets in Eastern Europe
The database presents comprehensive information on 52 accessible collections of protest event data for countries in Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia. - Catalog of Conflict and Cooperation Datasets
This catalog features key research platforms and public datasets on conflict and cooperation, political developments, socio-economic trends, and public opinion across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the South Caucasus.
