Data for: Regional governance: The evolution of a new institutional form

<h3>Data Overview</h3>

Data set consists of all legally binding treaties for the universe of regional economic institutions as defined in the data paper. The universe of regional economic institutions includes all multilateral, multi-issue regional organizations that have at least one or more legally binding treaty. Each legally binding treaty is coded on a variety of dimensions as given by the coding sheets.

The basic data are contained in the coding sheets for each
treaty. Treaties are almost always available by themselves. Treaty language is not always English: often the language of the REI is adopted (e.g. Spanich, French, etc.), for the post-Soviet REIs they are almost all in Russian.
