Datasets hosted in Harvard Dataverse
International Parliamentary Institutions Dataset
This dataset collects information on 54 international parliamentary institutions (IPIs) from 1945 to 2019. The project was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, NCCR challenges to democracy in the 21st century, and ETH Zurich.
This set contains data from the United Nations Treaty Series between 1945 and 2016. The data contains 50040 treaties and is taken from the World Legal Information Institute. It might be incomplete in comparison to United Nations direct sources. The rows contain the treaties, and the columns the attributes, such as the title of the treaty, its year of signature, and each party that is part of the treaty. The dataset also contains columns for parties that are not countries but international organizations and several columns on treaty characteristics, such as year, number of parties, the share of parties that are international organizations, and others.
Membership to International Organizations 1945-2013
This set contains rows for country-year between 1945 and 2013, and binomial columns for their membership to the most important international organizations, derived from the sample of “Measuring International Authority” by Liesbet Hooghe et al. (2017). The columns have the stub “io_” followed by the acronym of the IO as used most frequently. The set includes the columns polity, which indicates the democratic standing of the country-year according to the Polity V set.
