The goal of igoR is to provide access and to extract information from the Intergovernmental Organizations Database (IGOs), version 3, provided by the Correlates of War Project (Pevehouse et al. 2020).
The dataset (V3) includes information of 534 IGOs from 1816 to 2014, as well as membership information.
- Source: Intergovernmental Organizations (v3).
- Documentation and vignettes on https://dieghernan.github.io/igoR/
Additionally, a distribution of the State System Membership (Correlates of War Project 2017) is included on this package.
