Self-description:
"The Australia South Asia Research Centre (ASARC) was established as an initiative of the The Arndt-Corden Division of Economics through the Strategic Development Fund of the Institute of Advanced Studies, and with financial assistance from the Department of Employment, Education and Training. It was inaugurated in April 1994 by a past-President of India, His Excellency Dr KR Narayanan.
Countries in South Asia comprise India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives. The Centre is dedicated to research on the economics and politics of development in the South Asia region. [...] The primary aims of the Centre are: # to study the economic development and political economy of South Asia, particularly of India, taking into account Australia's national interests, and the dynamics of economic cooperation and interaction in the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions # to provide a focus for scholarly interest across disciplines in South Asia throughout The Australian National University # to develop a database on the South Asian economies # to establish research linkages with South Asian research and teaching institutions, and with Australian institutions with research interests in South Asia [....]."
