I am desperately searching for the researchers dataset of the "international country risk guide" if there is any way to get hold of your help would be much appreciated.

You must be kidding. Did you try to google? I found it here:

It seems that you have to pay for it.

Or were you asking that somebody should violate the licence agreement regarding the product?


An extract from the FAQ page:

Q. Can I share the product I purchased?
A. All of our products are protected by copyright laws, and the purchase price of each product, unless specifically stated otherwise in writing or negotiated further, allows use by only one person. We offer reasonable pricing for second copies of print products, or for additional users of our online products, including campus-wide access. If you have any questions about how to use our products, please contact our office.


If you need desperately the data you should ask your university to buy a licence..
