Asia Power Index 2024 Edition
The annual Asia Power Index measures resources and influence to assess the relative power of states in Asia. It is an analytical tool that ranks 27 countries and territories in terms of what they have, and what they do with what they have – reaching as far west as Pakistan, as far north as Russia, and as far into the Pacific as Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The 2024 edition — which covers six years of data — is the most comprehensive assessment of the changing distribution of power in Asia so far.
