Welcome to the Global Governance Observatory. The aim of the GGO is to support more comparative studies of global governance, by making available a repository of data on global governance from various domains.
Tools to download and work with the data are available in R via manydata. This package is in turn supported by manypkgs, for creating and extending manydata packages, and messydates, for working with a more flexible class of dates in R.
Many 'manydata' packages are available through the manydata package:
Development has been funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Grant Number 188976: “Power and Networks and the Rate of Change in Institutional Complexes” (PANARCHIC). See panarchic.ch for more about the project.
