  We shall investigate the asymptotic properties of the Bianchi type IX
cosmological model in the Brane-world scenario. The matter content is assumed
to be a combination of a perfect fluid and a minimimally coupled scalar field
that is restricted to the Brane. A detailed qualitative analysis of the Bianchi
type IX braneworld containing a scalar field having an exponential potential is
undertaken. It is found that the Brane-Robertson Walker solution is a local
source for the expanding Bianchi IX models, and if $k^2<2$ the expanding
Bianchi IX models asymptote to the power-law inflationary solution. The only
other local sink is the contracting Brane-Robertson Walker solution. An
analysis of the Bianchi IX models with a scalar field with a general potential
is discussed, and it is shown that in the case of expanding models, for
physical scalar field potentials close to the initial singularity, the scalar
field is effectively massless, and the solution is approximated by the
Brane-Robertson Walker model.
