RAIA is a youth-focused international think tank that translates the abstract world of international affairs by simplifying rather than generalising, visualising rather than beclouding, and deepening understanding of individual decision makers’ motives rather than polarising their differences.
HOT or NOT?
The RAIA “Hot or Not” index is not a popularity contest, nor is it a reflection of whether we personally agree with a leader’s policies. It is a measurement of how effectively a leader is actually achieving their own personal and governance goals.
WAR and PEACE
The RAIA “War & Peace” index is not a moral judgement, nor is it a reflection of whether we personally approve or disapprove of a relationship between leaders. It is a measurement of the actual state of that relationship: what is driving it, and where it is heading.
