WELCOME TO ASIA RESEARCH

CENTRE

Asia Research Centre (ARC) is a specialised research unit within Copenhagen Business School

(CBS) offering high-quality research on important aspects of the tectonic shifts in the global

economy related to the rise of Asia. With particular strengths on current political, social,

economic and business developments in the Asian region, ARC provides a productive environ-

ment for high-quality research.

ARC provides timely, scholarly and contextual understanding of Asia to a host of interested

parties representing academia, the political establishment, the media, the public as well as the

national and international business community.

ARC has valuable experience in international co-operation and partnerships with business and

government. ARC strives to further develop these initiatives in co-operation with external

partners and to consolidate ARC as a major global hub for research and educational initiatives.

MISSION

The mission of ARC is to provide up-to-date research and reliable analysis of current political,

social, economic and business developments associated with and contributing to the present shift

from West to East in global economics and business development. In understanding and coming to

grips with the implications of these immense changes in the Asian region, we will especially focus

on China, Japan, India and Southeast Asia, mainly Malaysia and Indonesia. On the basis of cross-

disciplinary, cross-regional and national studies, we will continue to produce high-quality analyses

to a host of interested parties representing academia, the political establishment and governments,

the media, the public and the national and international business communities.

Our goal is to maintain CBS’s position as the key research centre for Asian studies in the Nordic

region. On the basis of this platform, ARC aims to develop into a world class research centre on

business and economic development in Asia in a political and social context.

This implies:

To deepen and upgrade Asia-related research activities at CBS as a whole and establish

research projects and networks focusing on Asia that have international reach and impact.

To contribute with research-based educational inputs to the Asian Studies Programme and

introduce relevant Asia-related materials to other courses at CBS, including Executive Educa-

tion.

To disseminate our results to the international research community, to the business world and

to the public.

Important means to reach these goals are to continue to:

Undertake high-quality contextualised research on contemporary developments in the Asian

region.

VISION

ARC’s vision is to enlarge its research portfolio by attracting strong talent to undertake

cutting-edge research within our particular areas of strength on China, India, Japan and the region of

Southeast Asia, with main emphasis on Indonesia and Malaysia. In terms of disciplines, we will

continue to attract faculty within a broad range of social science disciplines and business

studies. By consolidating and expanding the Centre in key thematic areas and collaborating with

other researchers and centres at CBS and research organisations worldwide, we strive to create a

solid institutional identity to effectively meet our mission and research goals.

RESEARCH

ARC is organised into four research units. These are:

The China research unit

The India research unit

The Japan research unit

The Southeast Asia research unit

These units are organized with the explicit strategy of strong research not only within these areas but also

within cross-regional and comparative studies. The Centre will continue to emphasise its interdisciplinary

approaches to studying Asian countries, regions and issues that link them to each other and the global

system.

It is the Centre’s ambition to integrate its different research projects, both collective and individual research

projects, to form a coherent but not monolithic research programme. Accordingly, it is the aim of our current

research strategy that a majority of our research projects operate within the same overall frame: Changing

state–business relations in Asia and their embeddedness in specific political, cultural and economic con-

texts. This includes ownership structures, the political framework, including party–state–business relations

in state capitalist countries, indigenous forms of Asian management etc.
