doi: 10.2139/ssrn.7506799
abstract: Constructs reproducible country-year panels for research on contentious
  politics and civil conflict, as described in Guseinov (2026) <https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.7506799>.
  Functions build state panels keyed by Correlates of War or Gleditsch-Ward country
  codes and join curated socioeconomic, leadership, democracy, conflict, protest,
  and revolutionary-episode data on that common key, with diagnostics and plots for
  comparing source coverage. Bundled sources include Gapminder; the Nonviolent and
  Violent Campaigns and Outcomes (NAVCO) 2.1 data, Chenoweth and Shay (2019) <https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MHOXDV>;
  the Social Conflict Analysis Database, Salehyan et al. (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1080/03050629.2012.697426>;
  the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and Peace Research Institute Oslo (UCDP/PRIO)
  Armed Conflict Dataset, Gleditsch et al. (2002) <https://doi.org/10.1177/0022343302039005007>;
  and the Major Episodes of Contention data, Chenoweth and Kang (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1093/jopres/xjaf008>.
  Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) indicators require the optional 'vdemdata' package,
  which is not on CRAN and can be installed from <https://github.com/vdeminstitute/vdemdata>.
