TRACE

• Turkey Repression and Contentious Events Dataset (2013-2025)

TRACE measures contention, repression, and protest intervention in Turkey at the event level. Covering the last 12 years of authoritarian transition in Turkey, it accounts for various types of repression, provides an expanded protest repression measurement, and a context-driven issue categorization. By differentiating between police blocking demonstrations, intervening with brute force and tear gas, and detention of protestors, TRACE allows for observing changes in protest repression behavior. Moreover, it provides issue type identification necessary to compare state response to different movements.
