National Bureau of Asian Research
The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) is an American non-profit research institution based in Seattle, Washington, with a branch office in Washington, D.C.
NBR brings together specialists, policymakers, and business leaders to examine economic, strategic, political, globalization, health, and energy issues affecting U.S. relations with East, Central, Southeast and South Asia and Russia. Its mission is to inform and strengthen Asian-Pacific policy.
Funding for NBR's research comes from NBR itself, foundations, corporations, government departments and agencies, and individuals.
Established in 1989, NBR is a legacy organization of Senator Henry M. Jackson. During the 1970s, Senator Jackson had raised the need for a "National Sino-Soviet Center" in conversations with Kenneth B. Pyle, director of the University of Washington Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. He then enlisted Edward Carlson, president and CEO of United Airlines, and Thornton Wilson, CEO of the Boeing Company, to assist in creating an institution that would bridge the gap between those responsible for foreign policy decision making and the specialists located in universities and research institutes in the U.S. and abroad.
Seven years after Jackson's death, the National Bureau of Asian and Soviet Research was officially established with grants from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation and The Boeing Company. Kenneth B. Pyle served as the organization's founding president.
In 1992, the organization dropped "and Soviet" to become The National Bureau of Asian Research.
The Political and Security Affairs (PSA) group conducts innovative, forward-looking policy research on a range of Asian political security issues with a particular focus on strategic studies, with the Strategic Asia Program; China security issues; U.S. national security, with the Shalikashvili Chair; and politics and leadership through the Pyle Center.
NBR's Trade, Economic, and Energy Affairs (TEEA) group examines market and policy questions for the Asian-Pacific, with a focus on three broad areas: energy security and policy; energy and the environment; and trade, investment, and economic engagement. Over the years, TEEA has undertaken major research initiatives on a broad range of topics, including energy and environmental security, China's IP and innovation policies, Islamic finance, and the status of Myanmar's domestic and foreign policy reforms. The group's longest ongoing initiative is its Energy Security Program, which since 2004 has examined major developments in Asian energy markets and implications for geopolitics.
