Welcome to the Asia Pacific Africa Studies Center. Our Center is a distinguished platform for advancing scholarship and fostering collaboration focused on two important regions that are undergoing major transformations around the world. Our aim is to produce research that not only develops an in-depth understanding, but also informs policy and practice on the critical challenges and opportunities shaping these regions.
In an increasingly interconnected and complex global landscape, the Asia, Pacific and Africa regions play a critical role in shaping economic, political and social dynamics. Our research aims to capture this changing reality and analyze the drivers of change and their impact on global relations, sustainable development and intercultural cooperation.
Central to our mission is to foster interdisciplinary research that crosses traditional academic boundaries. By bringing together experts from different fields, we aim to develop innovative approaches to critical issues such as economic inequality, technological progress, environmental sustainability and regional integration.
Collaboration is at the heart of our work. Through partnerships with leading academic institutions, government organizations and international stakeholders, we strive to ensure that our research is impactful and meaningful to the needs of both local and global communities.
As Director of the Asia Pacific Africa Studies Center, I am driven by a commitment to create an environment where ideas flourish and knowledge translates into meaningful action. I invite you to join our work, contribute to our discussions and together shape a future that prioritizes inclusivity, collaboration and academic excellence.
Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to collaborating with you on this journey of discovery and impact.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Sedat Aybar
Director of Asia Pacific Africa Studies Center (APASC)
