The Darmstadt International Relations Corpus (DIReC)

The Darmstadt International Relations Corpus (DIReC) compiles all articles of the three most influential journals in the field of International Relations – International Organization, World Politics and International Security – from 1974 to 2000. It enables both research in the conceptual history of political science and linguistic analysis of the specialised language. This paper presents the data structure, the user interface and some use cases of DIReC.
