Countries

in South Asia

The South Asia Centre engages with all countries in the region, both individually and from a regional perspective, facilitating and organising events, research, inter-disciplinary collaboration and policy-focused Working Papers to promote wider interest in the region within the LSE and the United Kingdom. We actively seek to host events in individual countries to facilitate interaction with academics, researchers, and others interested in our work.

The countries in South Asia are represented by one of their national symbols. As we develop our work across the region, additional pages will be added to reflect our engagement with these countries.
