Muslim Asia

Recognizing that 62% of Muslims worldwide live in non-Arab Asia, over the past nine years NBR has been deeply engaged in the study of Muslim societies in Asia and Islam’s changing role in the region. Through a series of in-depth research studies, conferences, and analytical think-pieces, NBR’s Muslim Asia Initiative reaches out to U.S. and international experts to provide new perspectives on emerging social, political, and security trends in Muslim Asia that have key relevance to U.S. security interests in Asia and relations with the Muslim world.

Utilizing NBR’s “network of experts” business model, this initiative brings together the best scholars of Islam and Muslim societies in Asia from around the world to address emerging trends and developments in the region. Through a variety of publications platforms, including the NBR Special Report and NBR Analysis series, the peer-reviewed journal Asia Policy, and NBR’s flagship annual volume Strategic Asia, as well as conferences and private briefings, NBR makes available the best possible research to the global policymaking community. Core research areas addressed by the initiative are Muslim Asia and U.S. Security Interests and Muslim Asia and U.S. Relations with the Muslim World.
