The Regional Integration Knowledge System (RIKS) is divided into six thematic modules. Each module is providing information and data helping researchers and practitioners studying and assessing regional integration processes world-wide.

If you would like to know more about RIKS, its history or how we gather and process data for our various indicators and sections, head to the about RIKS section. There you will also find information about how to contact the developer of RIKS.

The database section is at the core of the RIKS system. Here you will find qualitative and quantitative information on regional arrangements world-wide. Our economic and social indicators provide comparable data on a large number of regional arrangements, starting as early as 1970. Here you can also find the UNU-CRIS archive of legal texts.

The news section is the place where you can browse the latest news related to regional integration in general. News articles are provided by the Google news service, and we present a selection of other relevant sources.

Our Research section gives an overview of journals, research centres, and working papers that are related to the study of regional integration. Similar to this, we provide you with a list of websites and platforms dealing with regional integration in our related platforms section.
