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.

Asian governments have put a heavy focus on the creation of think tanks as a strategy to help policymakers solve a variety of complex policy problems facing their respective countries. In the area, the number of think tanks serving the government and the public is expanding and their diversity is increasing.

The main functions of think tanks identify new pressing external issues and draw them to the attention of political leaders and the public and influence the process of preparing the country's foreign policy.

This work by a noted international relations student emphasizes the increasing presence of these policy actors in Asia, especially in China and Central Asia, positions the trend in a historical sense, and discusses how countries in the area have promoted the growth of think tanks with unique Asian features and the specifics of the current state of foreign policy study.
