- **Event Description**: A Hands-On Introduction for Researchers and PractitionersAbout this EventThe National Security and Defence Documents Dataset: A Hands-On Introduction for Researchers and PractitionersHow do states talk about security — and has that changed? This half-day workshop offers researchers and practitioners a first hands-on encounter with the National Security and Defence Documents Dataset (NSDDD): a unique resource spanning 118 countries and four decades of national security strategies, defence reviews, and strategic documents.Participants will explore the dataset using purpose-built semantic search and text analysis tools, discovering what computational approaches can reveal about patterns in strategic language, threat framing, and geopolitical alignment — including the wave of new documents published in 2025. No prior technical experience is required: the session is designed to open up the dataset's possibilities for scholars and policy professionals with substantive expertise in security and strategic studies.By the end of the session, participants will understand what the dataset contains and how it was built, have direct experience using the search interface to pursue their own research questions, and be positioned to contribute to a collaborative discussion about the most promising directions for future research.This event will take place in Room 1.52 of the Edinburgh Futures Institute. Please inform us of any access requirements by emailing cdcs@ed.ac.uk.
