Self-description:
"NBR's Strategic Asia database is an online portal for scholars, professional researchers, students, and those interested in strategically relevant data on Asia. Updated throughout the year, the database allows users to access data--free of charge--from 75 indicators for 37 countries in the Asia-Pacific, spanning the years 1990 to 2007. Users can either view data online, or download data sets to their computers for individual use. Context-driven hyperlinks throughout the database integrate Strategic Asia with other research and data centers, channeling users to detailed online resources for further research. The database allows users to search either a single-level analysis based on a single country and indicator or a multi-level analysis for a composite picture. [...] 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."
