igoR

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 [@pevehouse2020].

The dataset (V3) includes information of r nrow(igoR::igo_search()) IGOs from r min(igoR::igo_year_format3$year) to r max(igoR::igo_year_format3$year), 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 [@correlatesofwarproject2017] is included on this package.

knitr::kable(result_sugar)

IGO members:

Composition of the European Economic Community over time:

eec_code <- igo_search("EEC", exact = TRUE)

# Founding
eec_init <- igo_members(eec_code$ioname, year = eec_code$sdate)

knitr::kable(eec_init, caption = paste0("EEC, members
                                        (", unique(eec_init$year), ")"))

# Latest date
eec_end <- igo_members(eec_code$ioname)

knitr::kable(eec_end, caption = paste0(
  "EEC, members (",
  unique(eec_end$year), ")"
))
