Strategic Asia Database

Strategic Asia Database

The Strategic Asia online database contains an unparalleled selection of strategic indicators for 37 countries in the Asia-Pacific region from 1990 through 2007.

Key data is provided on the economy, finance, trade and investment, communications, armed forces, weapons of mass destruction, and politics and international relations.

For those interested in tracking strategic trends in Asia, NBR has created sample charts and graphs with detailed instructions on how to create similar charts and graphs using the database.

AccessAsia Search

AccessAsia is a free online search resource that focuses solely on contemporary Asian affairs. One of NBR’s longest running projects, since 1990 AccessAsia has tracked thousands of specialists on current Asian affairs. Originally a database on Asian affairs experts, AccessAsia is now a specialized search engine with thousands of links to Asian affairs experts’ websites. These experts’ specializations range from Japan to Afghanistan and Russia to Australia, and their work includes foreign policy, security, economics, domestic politics, and energy.
