Read our entire Policy Report
Conscription has taken years of young men’s lives for generations, yet it remains one of the least measured and least debated forms of state coercion in modern public policy.
89 Years of Conscription Around the Globe offers a rare, data-driven map of compulsory military service from the eve of the Second World War through 2022.
The entire dataset will be made available to every financial supporter of the project. Please reach out through our contact form for more details.
