Welcome! The Measure of International Authority (MIA) estimates the authority exercised by international organizations through delegation and pooling (1950-2019). It also estimates the range of policies for which an IO is responsible (1950-2017). This release covers 76 international organizations. All scoring is annual; the unit of analysis is the individual IO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: WE DETECTED A SMALL CODING ERROR IN MIA – AUTHORITY V.2, WHICH AFFECTED THE DELEGATION SCORES OF SOME IOS. PLEASE USE V.4 IN YOUR WORK.
