About Our Institute

The Asia-Pacific Strategic Observatory Institute (APSOI) is a distinguished independent policy research institute located in Taipei, Taiwan. Founded in 2019, we are committed to delivering high-quality, non-partisan research and analysis on critical issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region. Our core objective is to provide stakeholders with insights and strategic guidance through rigorous research methodologies and evidence-based analysis. At APSOI, we value clarity, precision, and neutrality in our research endeavors.

Since our inception, APSOI has embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between policy questions and research solutions. With a dedicated team of local and international experts, we have continued to grow and evolve, reflecting the dynamic nature of the geopolitical landscape. Our journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a resolve to contribute to the discourse on Asia-Pacific strategic matters.

Policy Analysis

We deliver rigorous, evidence‑based policy analysis focused on pressing socio‑political and security issues across the Asia‑Pacific region. Drawing upon multidisciplinary expertise, our team applies robust analytical frameworks and empirical research to unpack evolving regional dynamics. We generate well‑grounded, actionable insights intended to support informed deliberation and decision‑making. Our work seeks to equip diverse stakeholders, including researchers, practitioners and policy communities, with nuanced perspectives to interpret and navigate increasingly complex geopolitical and geo‑economic landscapes.

Research Publications

APSOI develops an array of research‑oriented outputs, including specialized working papers, thematic analytical reports and occasional briefing documents covering core strategic and regional affairs. These materials set forth our empirical findings, contextual assessments and policy‑related recommendations on key Asia‑Pacific strategic topics, feeding into scholarly and policy‑level discourse within international relations. Many of our research publications are not openly distributed to the general public. To enquire about availability, relevant scope and access conditions for our publications, interested parties are welcome to get in touch with our team directly.
