CIFP

The Country Indicators for Foreign Policy (www.carleton.ca/cifp) project represents an on-going effort to identify and assemble statistical information conveying the key features of the political, economic, social and cultural environments of countries around the world. Developed in partnership with the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, CIDA and DND the CIFP database includes statistical data related to such areas, in the form of over one hundred performance indicators for 200 countries. Now in its sixth phase the project provides at-a-glance global overviews, issue-based perspectives and country performance measures. The whole database is free of charge and open to the public, including country ranking tables for each topic including fragility, governance, conflict and crime. A large list of related research links is available, covering worldwide institutions, universities and centers devoted to specific topics, from Conflict Analysis to International Development. Due to its user-friendly design, the CIFP database provides easy navigation and prompt access to its material.
