The Asia Research Institute (ARI) is a university-level research institute of the National University of Singapore (NUS). Its mission is to provide a world-class focus and resource for research on Asia. The three themes of the ARI-Springer Asia Series – Cities, Religion, and Migration – correspond to three of ARI’s research clusters and primary research emphases. ARI’s logo depicts rice grains in star-like formation. Rice has been the main staple food for many of Asia’s peoples since the 15th century. It forms the basis of communal bonds, an element of ritual in many Asian societies, and a common cultural thread across nations and societies.
