Is there a relationship between semantic mapping and agreement stage?

There are 1447 agreements in the mapping analysis. Of these 1447 agreements, 985 precede an in-force constitution. Of the 985 agreements that precede an in-force constitution, 418 contain provisions that map onto sections of the constitution. These 418 agreements are referred to as mapping agreements. The remaining 567 agreements are the non-mapping agreements.

The plot below shows the how aggregated mapped constitution sections are distributed over agreement stage. The plot reveals which stages have the greatest influence on constitutions.

Which peace processes have the most influence on a constitution?

To qualify for inclusion in the analysis a peace process must contain at least one agreement with provisions that map onto constitution sections.

The plot below shows the percentage of constitution sections that are mapped by provisions of the agreements of a peace process.

In the Bosnia peace process the 96% of sections of the Bosnia & Herzegovina constitution are mapped by agreement provisions. Since the Dayton agreement contained the proposed constitution, it is not surprising that Bosnia peace process ranks highest.
