This groundbreaking book offers a fresh and innovative perspective on global politics, distinguishing it from international politics. By conceptualizing the vast array of 600 multilateral treaties deposited at the United Nations as a collective bundle of quasi-social contracts, it expands our understanding of global subjects such as multilateral treaties and the COVID-19 virus. Moreover, it envisions states' participation in multilateral treaties as a digital form of statecraft, where their actions and treaty attributes are analyzed to predict the future of global politics.

Through a comprehensive analysis of 193 statecraft profiles, the book demonstrates that multilateral treaties serve as both a vehicle and an agency in the globalization trend. Both state and international actors play a significant role in influencing a state's decision to join multilateral treaties. This book represents a remarkable fusion of international law and applied information science, providing a robust framework for empirical modeling based on artificial intelligence. It critically examines this framework in the context of international law and international relations, ultimately contributing to a new understanding of global politics.

This groundbreaking work is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in comprehending the complex dynamics of global affairs. Its innovative approach and comprehensive analysis shed light on the role of multilateral treaties in shaping the world we live in today and offer valuable insights into the future of global politics.
