Thought Leadership
The Institute for Regional Security focuses its research on the peace, stability and prosperity of the peoples of Indo-Pacific Region, a region that stretches from Kiribati in the east through South East Asia to India in the West, the Antarctic in the south through the South China Sea to the Korean peninsula and Japan in the north. Moving into the third decade of the 21st century, this is a region of significant economic growth and dynamism, but also of strategic competition and risk.
Our research addresses security as a complex human construct to be understood and forged across multiple, interdependent human, economic, civil/civic, defence, natural, energy, and cyber policy domains.
