The ABI is one of Germany's major research centers in the domain of both comparative area studies and transregional studies. As an independent, non-profit research institution, the institute cooperates with the University of Freiburg. The Institute was founded in 1960 and goes back to Arnold Bergstraesser, at that time Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the University of Freiburg... The ABI team consists of the Director, the Executive Director, research assistants and research supporting staff. The latter provide support in the library, in the editorial team of the International Quarterly for Asian Studies, in public relations and in accounting... Furthermore, we provide the ALMA Fellows, an interdisciplinary group of PhD students and postdocs, with an infrastructure for their research. In the spirit of the ALMA concept, they deal empirically and comparatively with socially significant phenomena in regions and societies outside Europe.
