The Elcano Global Presence Index displays the current situation and evolution, since 1990, of the global presence of 60 countries and of the European Union in the world order. Furthermore, since 2005, an additional calculation has been performed for the member States of the Union –the Elcano European Presence Index–, which limits the presence exclusively to the intra-European sphere. Global presence is divided in three areas which in turn are composed of diverse indicators: economy (energy, primary goods, manufactures, services, investments), defence (troops and military equipment) and soft presence (migration, tourism, sports, culture, information, technology, science, education, development cooperation).
