Colleagues, A large group of us has just published a new piece in Global Environmental Politics describing the International Environmental Agreements Database (IEADB) and summarizing research that has used it. If you conduct research on international environmental treaties and international environmental cooperation, you may find the article of interest. The article is here: https://doi.org/10.1162/glep_a_00544 and the online appendix, including replication materials for the subset of IEAs we analyzed is here: https://iea.uoregon.edu/ieadb_article_online_appendix Please contact me directly (off list) if, after poking around, you cannot find what you need on the IEADB -- I may be able to help out. Best, Ron et al.

What We Know (and Could Know) About International Environmental Agreements<https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1162/glep_a_00544>. Global Environmental Politics 20:1 (February), 103-121. Abstract: Initiated in 2002, the International Environmental Agreements Data Base (IEADB) catalogs the texts, memberships, and design features of over 3,000 multilateral and bilateral environmental agreements. Using IEADB data, we create a comprehensive review of the evolution of international environmental law, including how the number, subjects, and state memberships in IEAs have changed over time. By providing IEA texts, the IEADB helps scholars identify and systematically code IEA design features. We review scholarship derived from the IEADB on international environmental governance, including insights into IEA membership, formation, and design as well as the deeper structure of international environmental law. We note the IEADB’s value as a teaching tool to promote undergraduate and graduate teaching and research. The IEADB’s structure and content opens up both broad research realms and specific research questions, and facilitates the ability of scholars to use the IEADB to answer those questions of greatest interest to them.
