The RIKS platform contains membership data on regional organisations and their evolution over time, as well as a range of indicators tracking the level of integration between member countries. It also provides information on research and educational resources for those interested in further understanding regional integration processes worldwide.

Using the RIKS platform, you can look up information on various aspects of regional organisations.

  • Membership information allows you to look up the membership information of a specific country or regional organisation and track its evolution over time.
  • The interactive map presents the changes in the membership of different regional organisations on a world map.
  • Regional indicators provide detailed statistics on the level of the economic integration of any of the existing regional organisations in the database, as well as of any user-defined group of countries. These measures track the integration of the flow of trade, migration, and other economic variables.
