At the intersection of academic research and public and private decision-making, Asia Centre's researchers and their network of partners identify and analyse the significant issues of the Asia Pacific. Their research projects are linked to the major expert centres in Europe, the United States and of course Asia. Asia Centre initiates and participates constantly in international debates, its well renowned experts are members of numerous specialized committees and study groups.
Asia Centre has succeeded in providing a forum for presentations and discussions, with the cooperation of a great numbers of French and non-French institutions involving some fifty researchers, analysts and professionals of the Asia-Pacific, dealing with such major issues and questions as: the return of national strategies and economic globalization, the prevention of conflict and regional integration policies, and the challenges of democracy and governance concerning the whole region and its international partners. The major transversal and sectoral concerns – the quest for energy, nuclear proliferation and its crises, financial markets and systems, as well as changes to political and social systems, also lie at the core of our research and public debates.
