Asia-Pacific Region
The Asia-Pacific is a dynamic region that spans from the steppes of Central Asia to the Pacific ocean. It encompasses a variety of cultures and an eclectic range of economic activity, home to almost sixty percent of the word’s population. Opportunities abound here, but so do risks.
We define the region into four major sub-regions.

We offer detailed monthly regional overviews of the Central, South, Southeast, and East Asian regions. For regional reports we give in-depth analysis to transnational, and trans-border issues such as: terrorism, organized crime, interstate and civil wars, environmental, energy, and health security. We look at both violent and non-violent non-state actors and assess their impact on the region. We then map the results to derive priority risks. These risks are noted in reports that are available on a monthly and ad hoc basis.
