title: Exit Threats in Regional International Organizations
abstract: Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of why and when member states threaten to withdraw from regional international organizations (RIOs). A unique dataset covers over 120 exit threats across RIOs from all world regions. The book explains variation as a result of limited specific and diffuse support, such as the inability to exert influence or prevail under majority decision-making, as well as a lack of democratic socialization.
