About Osaka Sangyo University Asian Community Research Center (ACRC)

Established: 2005

Research theme: What kind of framework is necessary to achieve international cooperation under Asian pluralism?

ACRC was established by faculty members of Faculty of Economics Osaka Sangyo University as a result of an international joint research project on the possibilities and problems of establishing an EU-type community in Asia. Asia is extremely diverse compared to Europe, and we conduct research on the realities of Asian regions and the relationships between them based on the awareness of the issue of what efforts are needed to realize multilateral cooperation and coordination while protecting and utilizing the advantages of that diversity. Currently, our main activity is an international symposium held every year with a theme appropriate for the time of year. At this symposium, we invite domestic and international experts to participate in discussions with participants, providing a forum for deepening understanding of the Asian economy.
