International Interaction Analysis: Basic Research and Some Practical Applications
The rationale and procedures for converting historical narratives of international events to coded, machine-readable, indicator data are explained. The concepts of international interaction flows and interaction performance records of nations are introduced and compared to policy records. A theoretical approach is developed to define more closely the data analyzed in the Survey. Basic technical terms employed in the Survey are defined and discussed including event/interaction, routine event flows, disturbances, administrative control systems, major control systems, dampening and amplifying effects, interactional phenomena, transactional phenomena, and an exchange concept
