About CAG

CAG Focus

The Centre on Asia and Globalisation (CAG), at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, is a leading research centre focused on producing quality academic research relevant to public policy. Its motto "Objective Research with Impact" reflects the Centre’s commitment to ensuring its analysis informs policy and decision makers in and about Asia. This takes place through a combination of rigorous academic inquiry, expert collaboration, high level dialogue, public outreach, strategic networks and capacity building and training. The Centre, staffed by an international team of researchers, is uniquely placed to bridge Asia and the world on issues of global significance. Its work is both inward and outward looking, concentrating on how globalisation impacts Asia and Asia’s increased role in an integrated world. Within this remit the Centre focuses on four main areas:

• Major power relations in the Asia-Pacific
• Regional regimes in the Asia-Pacific
• Common-goods issues (energy, food, water and health)
• New approaches to building markets in Asia

In recognition of the complex inter-relationship between levels of decision making, CAG investigates the above fields at global, regional, national and sub-national levels. It welcomes exchange with other researchers, governments, business, civil society and other stakeholders.
