Lab Introduction
The Hu Fu Center for East Asia Democratic Studies is an important initiative in the international political science community. It is the first cross-national research project focusing on democratization in East Asia. As well as the ABS which is organized directly by the Hu Fu Center for East Asia Democratic Studies, the GBS is conducted in collaboration with other regional survey organizations from around the world. The ABS is run by leading scholars with cross-national survey experience from both Taiwan and overseas. The ABS is a cross-national comparative survey focused on socioeconomic modernization, regime transition and democratization, and changes in political values across the East Asia region. The survey applies an integrated research framework and standardized survey procedures. Since the survey was launched in 2001, five survey waves have been completed, and the survey now covers 14 countries and regions in Asia: Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Cambodia. The data collected by the Asia Barometer Survey is regularly released by the Hu Fu Center for East Asia Democratic Studies for use by scholars and experts around the world. For more information on data release, please refer to(Data Release)；The GSS integrates five large regional survey programs from around the world, Asian Barometer Survey, Afrobarometer, Latinobarómetro, Arab Barometer, and Eurasia Barometer, to create a research project on global democratization covering more than 80 countries and regions. Under this framework, the Hu Fu Center for East Asia Democratic Studies has played the lead role in developing long-term partnerships with the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), and other key international organizations. The GBS regularly develops and measures indicators related to global democratic development and quality of governance and collaborates to produce authoritative research findings. The GBS database is also provided for use by the global academic community. Over time, the GBS has accumulated a wealth of empirical data and theoretical research results, and it currently plays a leading role in the study of democratization in East Asia. In addition, the GBS has established long-term research collaboration with top international research teams and democracy research institutions to promote innovation in the democratization research agenda worldwide.
