Analysis and Results

This book used country codes, types of actors (e.g. rebels/refugees), event actions like appealing for aid and conventional and unconventional use of force, and number of articles and sources. The data provided by GDelt is limited by what is included and what is left out. For instance, al-Qaeda is identified as an actor, but ISIS is not. Similarly it is not clear whether and how different actor designations overlap, for instance, if al-Qaeda’s activities are coded twice, both as “al-Qaeda” as a known actor and as an “insurgent”. The data were accessed, sorted, and analyzed using Tableau, a software interface that uploads raw data from GDelt every 15 minutes. Queries were run and graphics created using Tableau to visually represent coverage disparities between Syria and Yemen.
