The Asan Institute for Policy Studies came in at 5th in this year’s regional rankings for the category of “Top 45 Think Tanks in China, India, Japan and the Republic of Korea.”

The Global Go To Think Tanks rankings is the first and most comprehensive report on the World’s 6,603 think tanks dispersed in 182 countries.

First, a survey is taken from approximately 2,000 scholars, policymakers, journalists, regional and subject area experts. Then, 6,603 think tanks and over 9,000 experts and specialists are individually contacted to submit their nominations.

The Asan Institute for Policy Studies was established in February 2008. It’s among the youngest of the think tanks that made this year’s ranking.
