Since then it has developed into an institute of 10 disciplines through integration of various subjects, with the focus being on studies of Marxism, ethnology, studies of Southeast Asia and South Asia, and economics. Its strength is especially demonstrated in such areas as studies of Southeast Asia and South Asia and ethnology.
