Asia
Covering every corner and aspect of the world's most populous continent, CSIS has an Asia team befitting of an Asian century.
CSIS's Asia portfolio includes three endowed chairs — the Freeman Chair in China Studies, the Japan Chair, and the Korea Chair — along with the Pacific Forum and the Asia Division of the International Security Program.
Sub-Regions
- Many programs at CSIS, namely the Freeman Chair in China Studies, analyze a host of issues related to the world’s most populous nation.
- Led by the Japan Chair, CSIS studies the political, economic, and security issues related to Japan and its place within Asia and the world.
- Many years of work on Korean issues at CSIS was recently strengthened with the launch of a Korea Chair.
- CSIS recently formed a special initiative focused on Southeast Asia, a region that for many years has received too little attention in Washington.
