About the institutions
APCSIS and TRCI are non-profit policy research institutions established in 2020, based in Europe and focused on international questions with global consequences.
Institutional profile
The Asia-Pacific Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Research Institute of Cross-regional Cooperation examine how power, security, policy, and economic change move across regions.
Their combined scope brings together strategic research, policy analysis, corporate risk insight, and dialogue formats for governments, international organizations, enterprises, and research networks.
Mission
Through forward-looking research, independent analysis, and high-level dialogue, the institutions aim to support more informed responses to regional instability, international competition, and changes in global governance.
Vision
The long-term ambition is to contribute rigorous, decision-relevant research to policy communities, business leaders, and international think-tank networks.
Core values
Combine well-sourced information, comparative context, and structured analysis to look beyond surface-level developments.
Frame research around real decision needs and convert findings into usable options, scenarios, and implications.
Who we work for
Our work is designed for organisations that need a structured view of political, economic, security, and cross-regional change.
Policy framing, scenario development, strategic options, and impact assessment for decisions with international consequences.
Cross-regional context, governance analysis, programme risk, and dialogue support across different institutional environments.
Country, sector, transaction, regulatory, stakeholder, and reputation analysis for internationally exposed operations.
Cross-border application
International decisions rarely remain within one jurisdiction. Our approach follows the movement of policy, capital, infrastructure, information, and reputation across borders.
Compare political priorities, institutions, and security conditions across the regions relevant to a decision.
Assess trade routes, energy systems, infrastructure dependencies, and the policy environment surrounding cross-border activity.
Map public, commercial, research, and media stakeholders and clarify where interests or expectations diverge.
Translate analysis into sequencing, safeguards, engagement priorities, and review thresholds.
Research and consulting method
Define the decision, policy domain, time horizon, stakeholders, and the form of output required.
Combine source review, regional context, data, and relevant practitioner perspectives while stating gaps and uncertainty clearly.
Examine plausible pathways, interaction effects, warning indicators, and the consequences of alternative choices.
Present findings as policy options, strategic implications, safeguards, and practical review points.
