Research

NBR is dedicated to informing and strengthening policy across the full spectrum of critical issues facing Asia, from security and politics to energy and global health.

Using its "network-of experts" business model, NBR brings together the best scholars from around the world for an ongoing examination of trends and developments in the region. Through a variety of publication platforms, including NBR's flagship annual volume Strategic Asia, the peer reviewed journal Asia Policy, and the NBR Analysis series, as well as through conferences and private briefings, NBR makes available the best possible research to the global policymaking community.

The institution organizes its research around three broad topics: politics and security, trade, economics, and energy, and health.
