Abstract
In this chapter we will give an overview of international and supranational statistics. The starting point will be the definitions given by Günther Menges [8]: “A statistics is called national if it is — concerning its territorial significance — confined to the territory of a singular legally autonomous state” (p. 14). “A statistics is called international if it consists of more than one national statistics. (…) A (national or international) statistics is called integrated if it consists of the statistics of several (in its statistical meaning) autonomous countries or parts of countries and is in its parts commensurable” (p. 16). “A statistics is called supranational if it is commensurable in its parts and can make holistic statements on the territory of a meaningful set of legally autonomous states. Every supranational statistics should at the same time be considered as integrated and international” (p. 18).
