Abstract: Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are considered single issue international institutions. As trade institutions, they prescribe rules for trade liberalization and economic development among member states. It is little known that their treaties include security commitments like alliance obligations, nuclear non-proliferation, small arms trade moratoriums and provisions for military forces that serve defense and peacekeeping functions. The purpose of this paper is to analyze patterns of RTA security commitments and conflict involving member state; discuss the nuances of coding multi-issue treaties and the database of global RTA security commitments that we have collected. |
