Sites are reviewed individually and rated mostly according to content depth and value added, while also considering design, ease of navigation and speed of loading. For each category best resources are listed first.

Asia in the World Economy

Created by the Pacific Basin Research Center at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, " Asia in the World Economy", is probably the most comprehensive web site on Asia available today. It has been created to support managers and researchers chiefly concerned with the economic development of Asia, yet the site provides links to information on all aspects of Asian countries and the region as a whole.

APEC Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) was formed in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence among Asia-Pacific economies. Today, APEC includes all the major economies of the region and the most dynamic, fastest growing economies in the world.An essential and excellent site. Do not miss their member economies page and the APEC-related websites.

Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library

The Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library (ASVL) was established in March 1994 by the Australian National University. The ASVL provides an authoritative, continuously updated hypertext guide and access tool to scholarly information resources on the Internet. It deals with the Asian continent as a whole, as well as individual Asian regions, countries, and territories. Excellent and essential but a bit overwhelming in scope.

APEC Center for Technology Exchange and Training for SMEs

The APEC Center for Technology Exchange and Training for Small and Medium Enterprises (ACTETSME) is intended to support the sustainable development and growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Asia-Pacific region and at the same time make them globally competitive. The Center is envisioned to perform the role of an information clearing house and referral facility. An interesting and very good site which unfortunately suffers from slow loading graphics. Do not miss their link to relevant sites.

Age of Asia: Resources for Research

Set up by Duke University in the US, this research guide provides links to country descriptions, news sources, electronic databases, etc. Although designed for the users of the Fuqua library it is very useful. Do not under any circumstances miss the section on "Asian sources by topics".

AsianNet

AsianNet labelling itself the No. 1 Information Provider of Asia is a combination of a business directory and a country guide. Very useful, especially for traders and exporters.

Asia Foundation

The Asia Foundation is a private, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization working to advance the mutual interests of the United States and the Asia-Pacific region. The section on reports and publications is interesting although it provides only summaries.

Asian Sources On-line

Entitled "The Web's most comprehensive database of Asian products and suppliers for volume buyers" this site enables you to generate lists of suppliers, of individual products from a specific country, to identify trade reports (not free), etc. An interesting site which also includes links to trade shows.
