Defining the current issues

The Griffith Asia Institute has a history of distinctive and recognised research on China and Australia-Asia relations.

Griffith Asia Institute’s Mission is to produce innovative, interdisciplinary research on key developments in the politics, economies, societies and cultures of Asia and the South Pacific. By promoting knowledge of Australia’s changing region and its importance to our future, Griffith Asia Institute seeks to inform and foster academic scholarship, public awareness and considered, responsive policy making.

The Institute looks with fresh eyes at the ever-changing dynamics of Australia’s region and bridges the gap between academia and foreign policy.

Our values are:

1. Rigorous and innovative scholarship on Australia’s region and our relations with the region.
2. Open and informed public discussion of all aspects of Australia’s relations with regional countries.
3. Sustained collaboration with other university institutions, Asia-focused agencies, policy makers and businesses to contribute towards closer relations between Australia and our region.
