Summary:This article introduces the Alliance Treaty Obligations & Provisions (ATOP) dataset. We begin by describing the rationale for collecting the ATOP data, its scope, & some general coding rules for the project. Then we offer some descriptive statistics for phase one of the dataset, which covers the years 1815-1944, & reveal some interesting trends in alliance politics. Finally, we replicate a study of alliance formation originally conducted by Lai & Reiter (2000) to demonstrate the effect the use of ATOP data may have on past inferences about alliance politics. 1 Table, 2 Appendixes, 63 References.
