The Asia Institute or TAI is a pan-Asian think tank situated in Seoul[2]: p. 4  that conducts research and holds seminars involving researchers, policy makers, and citizens from across Asia to discuss the intersection of technological change, the environment and international relations[3][4] with a focus on Asia. The Asia Institute stresses the presence of youth in the policy debate and the need for a dialogue on policy that involves the humanities and also artists and ordinary citizens. The Asia Institute is dedicated to unconventional approaches to contemporary problems from culture and international relations to technology, education and climate change.[4] The institute addresses the promises and risks of technological evolution, challenges for government and business in contemporary Asia and the shifting nature of international relations[5] in an age of limited finance, environmental degradation.[6]

In 2012 The Asia Institute published a selection of reports, seminar transcriptions, essays, and articles in correspondence with leading scholars such as Benjamin Barber, Noam Chomsky, Francis Fukuyama, Haun Saussy, and Larry Wilkerson.[2] The present director is Emanuel Pastreich, a faculty member at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.[4][2]: p. 5
