Zusammenfassung:This dataset consists of 575 national security and defence documents from 113 countries, covering the period from 1987 to 2024. It includes national security strategies, defence white papers, and other top-level security documents, all available as machine-readable PDFs. Non-English texts are accompanied by translations. The corpus is complemented by metadata providing context for each document and country, including variables such as UN region, regime type, and economic data. This collection enables comparative analysis, trend identification, and research across security studies, international relations, and related fields. The corpus serves as a resource for researchers, policymakers, civil society, and educational purposes, offering a compilation of global security priorities spanning nearly four decades. Additionally, the team provides code for reproducing their computational text analysis, allowing other researchers to replicate and build upon their work.
