This site offers access to a dataset containing a collection of bilateral international instruments signed by Argentina between 1810 and 2020.

The dataset was produced using information published in the Digital Library of Treaties of Argentina.

This dataset served as the basis for the paper on "The distribution of treaties as a reflection of foreign policy" , originally published in Spanish in the Research Journal in Argentine Foreign Policy in December 2023, under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) License.

The paper explores the relation between treaties, foreign policy and geopolitics, on the basis of the study of information extracted from a collection of bilateral treaties -in this case, Argentina’s Digital Library of Treaties- using data analysis tools.

In some cases, the Digital Library of Treaties condenses different entities into a single counterpart. This effect is therefore replicated in the dataset, where the following entities are condensed into one same counterpart:

• Russia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
• Prussia, Germany, and both German Republics before reunification.
• Yugoslavia and Serbia.
• The Ottoman Empire and Turkey.
• The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and Austria.
• Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. Slovakia appears as a counterpart in instruments signed before its separation from Czechoslovakia in 1993 when they were expressly kept in force under a new agreement.
