We introduce the Anatomy of Resistance Campaigns (ARC) dataset, which records information on 1,426 organizations that participated in events of maximalist violent and nonviolent contention in Africa from 1990 to 2015. The ARC dataset contains 17 variables covering organization-level features such as type, age, leadership, goals, and interorganizational alliances. These data facilitate new measurements of key concepts in the study of contentious politics, such as the social and ideological diversity of resistance episodes, in addition to measures of network centralization and fragmentation. The ARC dataset helps resolve existing debates in the field and opens new avenues of inquiry.

我们介绍了抵抗运动解剖 (ARC) 数据集，该数据集记录了 1990 年至 2015 年期间参与非洲极端暴力和非暴力冲突事件的 1,426 个组织的信息。ARC 数据集包含 17 个变量，涵盖组织级别的特征，例如类型、年龄、领导力、目标和组织间联盟。这些数据有助于对有争议的政治研究中的关键概念进行新的衡量，例如抵抗事件的社会和意识形态多样性，以及对网络集中化和碎片化的衡量。ARC 数据集有助于解决该领域现有的争论并开辟新的调查途径。
