ASEASUK is the only national organisation of Southeast Asianists in the UK - and the only such national organisation in Europe. Most members are academics specialising in the region from more than 30 universities and covering a range of disciplines. But there are also postgraduate members of the association as well as members from the business and diplomatic communities. A third of members are based outside the UK. ASEASUK publishes a newsletter, ASEASUK NEWS, twice a year. Aseasuk News contains information on regional research, conferences, seminars, exhibitions, recent publications of members and an annual directory of postgraduates. Aseasuk News has close links with the European Newsletter of Southeast Asian Studies (Enseas) to which it contributes information on UK Southeast Asianists. It also supplies information for the Leiden-based IIAS Newsletter. Aseasuk News is also distributed to relevant institutions in Britain, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia and New Zealand.
