Doctoral Dissertation Research: International Multilateral Agreement Negotiations

这个项目的目的是收集研究多边国际协定中的讨价还价和谈判所必需的数据。PI将确定和收集1920年至今国际体系中所有多边协定的数据。然后，该项目将利用这些数据检验从国际合作和谈判理论中得出的若干假设，包括对这类协议的发生率和期限的预期、对这些协议进行国际谈判的性质和程度以及非政府组织在协议过程中的作用。这项研究的结果将是更清楚地了解多边协定的制定、实施和执行过程。

The purpose of this project is to collect the data necessary for a study of bargaining and negotiation in multilateral international agreements. The PI will identify and collect data on all multilateral agreements in the international system from 1920 to the present. The project will then use these data to then test a number of hypotheses derived from theories of international cooperation and bargaining, including expectations relating to the incidence and duration of such agreements, the nature and extent of international bargaining over those agreements, and the role of NGOs in the agreement process. The results of the study will be a clearer understanding of the process by which multilateral agreements are made, implemented, and enforced.
