This study contains data on national attributes and international interactions for 114 nations in the 1960s. Containing data originally collected by the International Relations Program at Syracuse University, this learning package was developed to provide an introduction to comparative foreign policy analyses and a discussion of how to employ rigorous techniques to develop ideas about the causes and consequences of foreign policy. Data are provided for economic, political, domestic, and international interaction indicators. Included for each nation is information on the gross national product (GNP), level of trade, military expenditures, type of political system, character of political regime, size of diplomatic missions, population size, sociocultural classifications, alliance bloc memberships, number of contiguous countries, voting agreements with the United States, the Soviet Union, and India, the degree of support for the United Nations, and the number of cooperative or conflictual acts sent to and received from the United States, the Soviet Union, the region, and outside the region.
