Abstract
In Chapter 1 an attempt was made to identify a number of mechanisms through which international law and lawmaking might contribute to the maintenance of international peace. Chapters 3 and 4 offer an empirical analysis of the latent role of the treaty-making process during the interwar period. In this chapter, the rationale underlying the data analysis strategy is discussed and the data employed in the investigation are described.
