Presented by the SCGA
In this episode we look at the work undertaken by Prof. Andrew Neal and his colleagues on National Security globally. Breaking new ground a corpus and dataset of national security documents has been produced, with SCGA support, offering unprecedented insights into the landscape of international security.
This collection encompasses 575 documents from 113 countries, spanning the years 1987 to 2024. It represents the first-ever comprehensive corpus of public national security and defence documents on a global scale, providing a unique window into how countries across the world conceptualise and prioritise their security challenges.
The complete dataset has a DOI and is available through Edinburgh DataShare, the University of Edinburgh’s digital repository. It is released under a Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 licence, meaning it can be freely shared and adapted with attribution.
