QoG code: atop_consult
Consultancy Obligation
Coded 1 if the alliance member promises to consult with one or more alliance partners in the event of crises with the potential to become militarized conflicts.
The consultation obligation must be (1) specific to militarized crises, and (2) imply a goal of policy coordination.
A general promise to consult on issues affecting the interests of the signatories or to consult on important international problems is not enough to qualify as a consultation pact for our purposes, unless the agreement further specifies that the signatories will consult upon issues of security with the goal of policy coordination.
