The Center for Systemic Peace (CSP) is a research organization focused on political systems, conflict, and peace. Through its Integrated Network for Societal Conflict Research (INSCR), it provides data, analysis, publications, and educational resources for people studying political change and instability. Its resources include the Polity project and datasets on coups, state fragility, political violence, conflict, and forcibly displaced populations.

The site also offers country reports, regime trend analysis, a global report, and a virtual library, alongside research on political instability and societal systems. These materials are intended to help users examine patterns of authority, governance, conflict, and political change across countries and over time. CSP notes that updates to Polity and other data resources have been delayed or placed under embargo since government funding ended in 2020, pending a new funding mechanism.

The organization also publishes notices explaining its coding methods and dataset status, and provides books and video content. Its work supports research and analysis of political behavior and institutional change
