CAA MONITORS
The Centre for Asian Affairs (CAA) conducts extensive monitoring of political, economic, and social events in East Asian countries. As part of the activities undertaken, we publish five monthly periodicals: Chinese Monitor, Japanese Monitor, Korean Monitor, ASEAN Monitor, and China-Balkans Monitor with special commentary by the Center's experts. These monthly magazines contain a compendium of current events, with particular emphasis on the activity of these countries in the region of Central and Eastern Europe.
CAA BLOG/FOCUS
Current political and economic events are commented on by employees of the Centre for Asian Affairs of the University of Lodz in the form of Blog comments and Focuses. The internal political situation and foreign policy of the countries in the region: China, Japan, and Korea are discussed in the CAA Blog. At the same time, the CAA Focus series focuses on short comments on the activity of China, Japan, and Korea in the countries of Central Europe and the Balkans, as well as ASEAN policy. Blog and Focus sections are available only in the Polish version of the website.
CAA REPORTS
The Centre for Asian Affairs team prepares reports and studies commissioned by central and local authorities and institutions of the business environment. We have composed reports, including. At the request of the Łódź Special Economic Zone, the Marshal's Office of the Łódź Voivodship and with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland and the KGHM Polska Miedź Foundation. The subjects of the reports included the issue of investments in photovoltaic energy, promotion of agricultural products of the Lodzkie Voivodship in China, and political and economic relations between China and Central European countries in the central and local dimension.
COMMENTARY
We publish commentaries in English on current political and economic events related to the domestic and foreign policies of China, Japan, South Korea, and the ASEAN countries. We try to discuss current events in such a way as to contribute significantly to international discussions. These short forms of expression are intended to present the opinions of experts from the Centre for Asian Affairs to a wider audience on a global scale.
CAA PAPERS
In the Centre for Asian Affairs Papers (CAA Papers), the CAA presents different views on current events in Asia. In the studies, the experts focus primarily on the internal situation of the People's Republic of China and its foreign policy. Our analyzes also include topics related to Japan's participation in issues relating to both the international and regional arena. In addition, we try to familiarize our readers with the dynamics of the development of the situation on the Korean Peninsula and the intensifying Sino-American rivalry in Southeast Asia. At CAA Papers, we present a wide range of different ideas and views, providing an excellent platform for exploring new processes taking place in the East Asia region.
CAA BRIEFS
The Centre for Asian Affairs presents its second series in English, the Centre for Asian Affairs Brief (CAA Brief). As in the case of CAA Papers, the main subject of the analysis are issues related to broadly understood international interactions in the East and Southeast Asia region. There are also publications on the internal situation of Asian countries and their implications for the situation in the region. The main purpose of the CAA Brief series is a short and accessible presentation of the contemporary changes and processes that take place in the East Asia region. They are also a form of recommendations for central and local authorities and the European Commission.
