Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are trade institutions that also serve security functions (e.g. military alliances, provide military forces). RTA treaties, therefore, are multi-issue treaties. They specify member state obligations in trade and security integration. Such multidimensional conflict management complicates our ability to isolate the nature of the trade institutions – conflict relationship. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) describe the project, (2) to present the coding instrument used to measure RTA security structure, and (3) to discuss the practical challenges that arise when collecting data on multi-issues treaties. These challenges include: (a) criteria for an RTA treaty, (b) RTA legal document official languages, (c) complex issue linkage through multi-issue treaty provisions, and (d) RTA legal documents versus RTA policy.
