Nation-Building International Institute (NBII)
The Nation-Building International Institute (NBII) was founded in Bangkok, Thailand by Professor Dr. Kriengsak Chareonwongsak, with a vision to establish a leading institute for the development of morally guided leadership with systematised management skills for nation-building.
NBII believes in cultivating informed future leaders and virtuous individuals to shape the communities that drive nation-building. NBII is functioned as an umbrella institution that oversees the activities of its country-specific institute including NBI Thailand (NBIT) and NBI Malaysia (NBIM). NBI institutions will implement NBII’s programs on a national level within the context of their respective country. To this end, it conducts educational programs, interdisciplinary research, and collaborative development projects through engagements with the public, private and people (or civic) sectors across the world, both locally and regionally, especially in ASEAN Plus countries.
Internationalisation of Nation-Building Efforts
NBII represents the progressive vision of the original founders of Thailand’s NBI in Bangkok: to expand its successful nation-building initiatives outside of Thailand and inspire change-makers to improve communities across the globe especially the ASEAN Plus region. To achieve this vision, NBII has developed an internationalisation agenda to foster local and regional linkages between the 3P sectors across the globe and the ASEAN Plus countries by emulating the pedagogy and protocols of NBI Thailand’s programs, i.e. the implementation of education programs, research initiatives and collaborative developmental projects for rigorously selected participants.
NBII’s Mission Statement is essentially to systematise the existing philosophy, principles and ethos of nation-building into a pragmatic framework that can not only be applied by individuals of diverse sectors to cause societal impact, but also be adopted by different nations in the pursuit of their respective developmental goals.
Mission
NBII aims to be the world’s leading institute on nation-building and an independent think tank that focuses on regional governance and strategic political-socio-economic development toward a civilized nation.
NBII’s mission has been to engage the nation’s leaders of the public, private and civil sectors in order to
instil nation-building ideology, concepts and strategies needed for the sustainable development of the country toward a nation of civility, and
to effectuate real social impact on a national level.
