Transnational social movement organizations dataset (TSMOD), 1953-2013

TSMOD is a ten-year extension of Smith and Wiest’s (2012) biennial 1953-2003 data on the population of transnational social movement organizations (TSMOs). Data are coded from the Yearbook of International Organizations and include information on each TSMO’s founding year, membership structure, headquarters location, goals, ties to intergovernmental organizations, and ties to nongovernmental organizations.

INGO Network Country Scores (INCS), 1950-2008

These data provide a measure of country-level connectedness to the world polity called INCS. The measure scores countries by centrality in the world country-INGO network, rather than on raw counts of INGO ties that do not acknowledge networks or power. Data span 5,291 INGOs. Both raw and scaled scores are provided.
