get_treaty: Get international treaties

In globalgov/qData: A Portal for Global Governance Data

Get international treaties

Description

Some datasets in the membership databases across the 'many* packages' (e.g. manyenviron) contain a myriad of information on international treaties governing an international domain. The get treaty functions help researchers retrieve all bilateral agreements, or multilateral agreements, from these datasets. Researchers can, for example, use get_bilaterals() to retrieve which countries have signed a specific international agreement, or several international agreements signed in a respective year. As well, researchers can use get_multilaterals() to retrieve the titles of all multilateral agreements signed in the past 10 years, for instance. Alternatively, to get information from several datasets in a memberships database, researchers can consolidate() the database into one dataset with some combination of the rows, columns, and observations of the datasets before getting the desired bilateral or multilateral treaties.
