| | Correlates of War Project History |
 | | More generally, the correlates of war project promoted cumulative science in the field of international relations when the scientific study of politics was in its infancy. |
 | | Accordingly, early efforts were undertaken to measure many of those factors that purportedly accounted for war such as national capability, alliances, geography, polarity, and status in the post-Napoleonic period, and the list of data sets assembled by the project has continued to grow over the years (see Data Sets). |
 | | The Correlates of War Project was founded in 1963 by J. David Singer, a political scientist at the University of Michigan. |
