The National centre of research in social and cultural anthropology (French: Centre national de recherche en anthropologie sociale et culturelle, CRASC[4]) is an algerian governmental research organisation in social sciences created in 1992[5] by the decree 92-215 of May 23.[6] The Centre operates under the aegis of the Ministry of higher education and scientific research,[7] its headquarters is located in Oran.[8]

The primary missions of the CRASC are:

  • Research ;
  • Education ;
  • Studies and assessments ;
  • Editing and enhancement.

The CRASC publishes scientific works, in particular through its review "Insaniyat" which is referenced by the web platform for journals and book collections in the humanities and social sciences Revues.org.[9] Contributions in English are mainly disseminated through The Africa Revue of Books (ISSN 0851-7592), the journal of the Codesria is published twice yearly. Its editorial production is piloted by the Forum for Social Studies (FSS), based in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), with the active support of the National centre of research in social and cultural anthropology.[10]

In 2012, for the fifty years of independence of Algeria, the CRASC organized the interdisciplinary colloquium “1962, A World ”, in collaboration with the overseas office of The American Institute for Maghrib Studies (AIMS) which is The Centre d'études maghrébines en Algérie (CEMA) located in Oran.[11] Johns Hopkins University also participated through the Organization committee, including the contribution of the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences and the Centre national de la recherche scientifique.[12]
