Correlates of War State-Year International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) Data
Source:R/data-cow.R
cow_igo_sy.Rd
This is a state-year version of the Correlates of War IGOs data. I use it internally for merging IGOs data into state-year data.
Format
A data frame with 1557 observations on the following 5 variables.
ccode
the Correlates of War state system code for the state
year
the year
sum_igo_full
the sum of IGOs for which the state is a full member in a given year
sum_igo_associate
the sum of IGOs for which the state is just an associate member in a given year
sum_igo_observer
the sum of IGOs for which the state is just an observer in a given year
sum_igo_anytype
the sum of IGOs for which the state is a member of any kind in a given year.
Details
The data-raw
directory on the project's Github contains
additional information about how these data were generated from the otherwise
enormous dyad-year IGOs data provided by the Correlates of War project. Given
the size of that data, and the size limitations of R packages for CRAN,
the data I provide here can only be simpler summaries. If you want specifics,
you'll need to consult the underlying raw data provided on the Correlates
of War project. There's only so much I can do.
