Description |
This dataset and R scripts replicate the empirical analysis in "The Forces of Attraction: How Security Interests Shape Membership in Economic Institutions" (2021, Review of International Organizations). The paper tests the geopolitical origins of institutional membership by analyzing new data on membership patterns for 231 economic organizations from 1949 – 2014. Evidence shows that security ties shape which states join and remain in organizations at both the formation and enlargement stages. We use a finite mixture model to compare the relative power of economic and geopolitical considerations, finding that geopolitical alignment accounts for nearly half of the membership decisions in economic institutions. |
