Introduction - Policy research institutes, best known as think tanks, have long been founded and well-known in Western countries, but have only evolved in most of the rest of the world in recent years. Globalization is partially responsible for the new growth of think tanks, as few problems are totally domestic and the need for well-informed policy advice is increasingly acknowledged by governments and people.
- Over the past decade, think tanks have become increasingly significant in many Asian nations, coinciding with their rise to new prominence in international affairs. The key players in Asia -the People's Republic of China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore- and, more recently, Central Asian countries, such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, now have large think tanks. These institutions have become the go-to organizations for ideas and policy advice on key economic, security, social and environmental issues
