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 https://correlatesofwar.org/ (Pevehouse et al. (2020)>).

The dataset (V3) includes information of 534 IGO from 1816 to 2014, as well as membership information.

Source: Intergovernmental Organizations (v3).
