Research

The three interconnected foci for research in Public Policy and Global Affairs (PPGA) are Global Asia and Asian Regionalism, China studies, and Public Policy in Science and Technology
 
PPGA has launched major research projects in the following areas:
  • regional governance and Asian regionalism
  • policy innovation study in Asia;
  • public administration and public consultation in Asia; and
  • rise of China and its consequent global and regional impact - this research area aims to study the impact and implications of a rising China on Asia and/or Asian regionalism, as well as on global politics (e.g. the potential reform of institutions such as the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank).

At the same time, PPGA faculty conduct research on other policy issues, such as the role of religion in the public sphere, the relationship between identity and violence, Covid-19 management policies of different countries, critical questions in Political Theory, urban governance, inter alia.
