The EU-STRAT database is a website that allows researchers to explore interactive visualizations and extract data on international trade flows. It combines information from existing sources, and provides uniquely mapped data on international security training.
The primary focus of the database is Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine; as partnership counties it covers bilateral flows with China, USA, Turkey, Russian Federation and EU-28 (individual countries, or as aggregated group). It includes data from the three sectors Trade, Security and Migration and covers the period from 1991 to 2017 on an annual basis.
The data will be available for scholarly studies in 2019. For accessing the data please contact: Dr. Katharina Hoffmann
