LEGACIES
Understanding how historical states affect conflict and democracy today

Welcome to the project website of the LEGACIES project! Our project aims to understand how historical and precolonial states have shaped modern institutional outcomes and forms of dissent by developing new theoretical frameworks for understanding the legacies of historical states and testing those frameworks using new data that maps the international system between 1750 and 1920.

Curious to know more? Explore our website and read a more detailed description of the project and get to know the team working on the project. Data will be available in 2025.
