Italy's Diplomatic Outreach (Ministers of Foreign Affairs)

The Diplomatic Outreach dataset tracks bilateral diplomatic visits between countries. Each observation tracks the direction of the visit, the level of the visit, and the political actors involved. This version tracks the visits of the Italian Ministers of Foreign Affairs 2000-2011 with high-level peers (namely HoSGs/HoSGs-equivalent, their deputies, and MFAs). This dataset was developed in collaboration with Sofia Barbieri, Robin Bezzina, Matteo Carosotti, Marco Cavallero, Eva Chaffer, Sofia Ciccarelli, Elena De Paoli, Mattia Donati, Matteo Pandiani, Giulia Robecchi, and Sofia Vicentini.
