mpn_cow combines these two datasets into one multilevel network. They are kept alongside it because {manynet} currently reads a network with two named modes as undirected, which symmetrises the trade layer of mpn_cow, and because to_layer() does not recover that layer either. See stocnet/manynet#170 and stocnet/manynet#171.

Details

mpn_cow_trade is a one-mode matrix representing the trade relations between 116 states. The data is derived from the Correlates of War Project (COW) Trade Dataset (v3.0), which contains the annual dyadic and national trade figures for states (listed in COW) between 1870 to 2009. This network is based only on the dyadic trade figures in 2009 for the 116 states listed in Appendix 7.1 in Multimodal Political Networks (Knoke et al., 2021). The value in each cell of the matrix represents the value of exports from the 116 row states to the 116 column states.

mpn_cow_igo is a two-mode graph representing the membership of 116 states in 40 intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). The data is derived from the Correlates of War Project (COW) Intergovernmental Organizations Dataset (v3.0), which contains information about intergovernmental organizations from 1815-2014, such as founding year and membership. This network contains only a subset of the states and IGOs listed in COW, with 116 states listed in Appendix 7.1 in Multimodal Political Networks and 40 IGOs from Table 7.1 in Multimodal Political Networks that also overlap with the COW dataset (Knoke et al., 2021).
