FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	POLICY AND BUSINESS PROGRAMS DIVISION THE ASIA SOCIETY POLICY INSTITUTE HAS BEEN RANKED IN THE TOP 1% OF THINK TANKS AROUND THE WORLD BY THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA'S THINK TANKS AND CIVIL SOCIETY'S PROGRAM. WITH A PROBLEM-SOLVING MANDATE, THE ASIA SOCIETY POLICY INSTITUTE (ASPI) TACKLES MAJOR POLICY CHALLENGES NOW CONFRONTING THE ASIA-PACIFIC IN SECURITY, PROSPERITY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMON NORMS AND VALUES FOR THE REGION.
