ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute

• Regional Economic Studies • Regional Strategic and Political Studies • Regional Social and Cultural Studies ==Country Studies Programmes==

The country-focused programmes are meant to complement the institute's three basic disciplinary programmes, with the cross-affiliation of researchers between the two sets of programmes helping to encourage research projects which are more comparative in nature and are conceptually bolder. The five country-specific programmes are Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam (including Indochina). ==Research Centres==
