The Strategic Asia Program is a major ongoing research initiative that draws together top Asia studies specialists and international relations experts to assess the strategic environment in the Asia-Pacific and to examine the strategies and perceptions that shape policy in the region. The program produces an annual volume, an executive summary, an online database, and briefings.

The Strategic Asia Annual Volume

The research presented in the Strategic Asia annual volume transcends traditional estimates of military balance by incorporating economic, political, and demographic data on the region and then asking what "strategic Asia" will look like in five years. Strategic Asia 2007–08: Domestic Political Change and Grand Strategy, examines the varied political transitions and internal changes occurring in pivotal Asian states and evaluates the impact on Asian foreign policymaking and strategy.
