Description	This dataset supplements my senior thesis project, "Silent Statecraft: The Revocation of Ambassadors as a Diplomatic Tool." The information in this dataset comes from media coverage and government records from all 195 states, as well as some extant states (like Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia), disputed territories (like Taiwan) and non-state actors that receive ambassadors (like the European Union and the United Nations). Along with the sending and receiving state in question, I also document the reason for revocation, year(s) it took place, media sources that cover the quarrel; and whether (and if so, after how long) diplomatic ties were reinstated. Most importantly, the index catalogues the overarching political narrative surrounding the dispute and systematizes each a the three-tiered structure based on the revocation’s political significance and level of associated international actions.
