Ethnic power relations

The ethnic power relations (EPR) dataset identifies all politically relevant ethnic groups, their size, and their access to state power in every country of the world with a population of at least 250,000 from 1946 to 2017.

It includes annual data on over 800 groups and codes the degree to which their representatives hold executive-level state power, from total control of the government, power-sharing to overt political discrimination.

The current version of the EPR data is available in research-ready country-year and group-year format from the GROWup Research Front-End data portal.

The EPR data is one of the most widely used datasets on ethnic groups in social sciences.

[4] The EPR data is composed on the basis of an online expert survey.
