This vignette is meant to provide **useRs** with a visual, explorable
introduction to the capabilities of the **igoR** package.

The analysis is based on those provided in @pevehouse2020. For more information
on the IGO data sets and additional downloads, see [Intergovernmental
Organizations (v3)](https://correlatesofwar.org/data-sets/IGOs/).

*Note that the dyadic dataset is not provided in the package, due to its size
(\~500 MB in Stata `.dta` format). However,* `igo_dyadic()` *function provides
similar results.*

## Definitions

From @pevehouse2019:

> ### What is an IGO?
>
> The definition of an Intergovernmental Organization (IGO) on the original
> dataset is based on the following criteria:
>
> 1.  An IGO must consist of at least three members of the [COW-defined state
>     system](https://correlatesofwar.org/data-sets/cow-country-codes/).
> 2.  An IGO must hold regular plenary sessions at least once every ten years
> 3.  An IGO must possess a permanent secretariat and corresponding
>     headquarters.
>
> ### When does an IGO actually begin?
>
> The data sets begins to code an IGO by identifying the first year in which the
> organization functions. In some cases, individual members are listed by year
> of accession or signature.
>
> ### When does an IGO die?
>
> Version 3.0 of the IGO data set uses the following criteria:
>
> -   An organization is considered terminated when the following words were
>     used to describe the context of the organization:
>     -   Replaced;
>     -   Succeeded;
>     -   Superseded;
>     -   Integrated;
>     -   Merged;
>     -   Dies.

## Analysis

This section provides some quick analysis based on the figures of
@pevehouse2020.

### Initial Setup

```{r}
#| label: setup
library(igoR)

# Additional libraries
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
```

In the first place, we create a custom `ggplot2::theme()` named `theme_igor`,
which we apply to all our figures:

```{r}
#| label: custom-theme

theme_igor <- theme(
  axis.title = element_blank(),
  axis.line.x.bottom = element_line("black"),
  axis.line.y.left = element_line("black"),
  axis.text = element_text(color = "black", family = "sans"),
  axis.text.y.left = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 0.5),
  legend.position = "bottom",
  legend.title = element_blank(),
  legend.key = element_blank(),
  legend.key.width = unit(2, "cm"),
  legend.text = element_text(family = "sans", size = 11.5),
  legend.box.background = element_rect(color = "black", linewidth = 1),
  legend.spacing = unit(1.2 / 100, "npc"),
  plot.background = element_rect("grey90"),
  plot.margin = unit(rep(0.5, 4), "cm"),
  panel.background = element_rect("white"),
  panel.grid = element_blank(),
  panel.border = element_rect(fill = NA, colour = "grey90"),
  panel.grid.major.y = element_line("grey90")
)
```

### IGOs overview

The following code extracts the number of IGOs and states included in this
package. The years available are 1816 to 2014.

```{r}
#| label: fig-f1
#| fig-cap: "IGOs and states in the world system, 1816-2014"
# Summarize
igos_by_year <- igo_year_format3 %>%
  group_by(year) %>%
  summarise(value = n(), .groups = "keep") %>%
  mutate(variable = "Total IGOs")

countries_by_year <- state_year_format3 %>%
  group_by(year) %>%
  summarise(value = n(), .groups = "keep") %>%
  mutate(variable = "Number of COW states")

all_by_year <- igos_by_year %>%
  bind_rows(countries_by_year) %>%
  # For labelling the plot
  mutate(
    variable = factor(
      variable,
      levels = c("Total IGOs", "Number of COW states")
    )
  )


# Plot
ggplot(all_by_year, aes(x = year, y = value)) +
  geom_line(color = "black", aes(linetype = variable)) +
  scale_x_continuous(limits = c(1800, 2014)) +
  scale_linetype_manual(values = c("solid", "dashed")) +
  geom_vline(xintercept = c(1945, 1989)) +
  ylim(0, 400) +
  theme_igor
```

### IGO Births and deaths

This plot shows how many IGOs were "born" and "died" in each year

```{r}
#| label: fig-f2
#| fig-cap: "Birth and death rates of IGOs, 1816-2014"
# Births and deaths by year

df <- igo_search()

births <- df %>%
  mutate(year = sdate) %>%
  group_by(year) %>%
  summarise(value = n(), .groups = "keep") %>%
  mutate(variable = "IGO Births")

deads <- df %>%
  mutate(year = deaddate) %>%
  group_by(year) %>%
  summarise(value = n(), .groups = "keep") %>%
  mutate(variable = "IGO Deaths")


births_and_deads <- births %>%
  bind_rows(deads) %>%
  filter(!is.na(year))

# Plot
ggplot(births_and_deads, aes(x = year, y = value)) +
  geom_line(color = "black", aes(linetype = variable)) +
  scale_linetype_manual(values = c("solid", "dashed")) +
  scale_x_continuous(
    limits = c(1815, 2015),
    breaks = seq(1815, 2015, by = 25)
  ) +
  ylim(0, 15) +
  theme_igor
```

### IGOs across regions

A plot with the number of IGOs by region. The definition of region is based on
the original definition by @pevehouse2020, as provided in the complementary
replication data set [@priorep]:

```{r}
#| label: regions_code

# africa, americas, asia, europe, middle_east created in previous chunk
# collapsed for readability.

regions <- igo_search() %>%
  mutate(
    region = case_when(
      ionum %in% africa ~ "Africa",
      ionum %in% americas ~ "Americas",
      ionum %in% asia ~ "Asia",

      ionum %in% middle_east ~ "Middle East",
      TRUE ~ NA

  ) %>%
  select(ioname, region)
```

After we have created a data frame with the regions, we can classify the IGOs by
region.

```{r}
#| label: fig-f3
#| fig-cap: IGO counts across regions, 1816-2014
# regions dataset created on previous chunk

# All IGOs
alligos <- igo_year_format3 %>%
  select(ioname, year)

regionsum <- alligos %>%
  left_join(regions) %>%
  group_by(year, region) %>%
  summarise(value = n(), .groups = "keep") %>%
  filter(!is.na(region)) %>%
  # For plotting
  mutate(
    region = factor(
      region,
      levels = c(
        "Asia",
        "Europe",
        "Africa",
        "Americas",
        "Middle East"
      )
    )
  )


# Plot
ggplot(regionsum, aes(x = year, y = value)) +
  geom_line(color = "black", aes(linetype = region)) +
  scale_linetype_manual(
    values = c("solid", "dashed", "dotted", "dotdash", "longdash")
  ) +
  guides(linetype = guide_legend(ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)) +
  ylim(0, 80) +
  scale_x_continuous(
    limits = c(1815, 2015),
    breaks = seq(1815, 2015, by = 25)
  ) +
  theme_igor
```

### Selected Countries: Asia

Number of memberships for a country. We select here five countries in Asia:
India, China, Pakistan, Indonesia and Bangladesh.

```{r}
#| label: fig-f4
#| fig-cap: "IGO membership: five states in Asia, 1865-2014"
asia5_cntries <- c("China", "India", "Pakistan", "Indonesia", "Bangladesh")

# Five countries of Asia
asia5_igos <- igo_state_membership(
  state = asia5_cntries,
  year = 1865:2014,
  status = "Full Membership"
)

asia5 <- asia5_igos %>%
  group_by(statenme, year) %>%
  summarise(values = n(), .groups = "keep") %>%
  mutate(statenme = factor(statenme, levels = asia5_cntries))

# Plot

    axis.title.y.left = element_text(
      family = "sans",
      size = 12,
      margin = margin(r = 6)
    )
  ) +
  scale_x_continuous(
    limits = c(1865, 2015),
    breaks = seq(1865, 2015, by = 25)
  ) +
  scale_y_continuous(
    "Number of memberships",
    breaks = seq(0, 100, 20),
    limits = c(0, 100)
  ) +
  theme_igor
```

### Shared memberships

Number of shared full memberships between Spain and four selected countries:

```{r}
#| label: fig-f5

#|   countries), 1816-2014

spain_selected <- igo_dyadic("Spain", selected_countries)

# Compute number of shared memberships
spain_selected <- spain_selected %>%
  rowwise() %>%
  mutate(values = sum(c_across(aaaid:wassen) == 1))

# Plot
ggplot(spain_selected, aes(x = year, y = values)) +
  geom_line(color = "black", aes(linetype = statenme2)) +
  scale_linetype_manual(values = c("solid", "dashed", "dotted", "dotdash")) +

    breaks = seq(1815, 2015, by = 25)
  ) +
  scale_y_continuous(

    breaks = seq(0, 110, 20),

    y = 100,
    size = 3,
    label = "Constitution \nof Spain"
  )
```
