Defence
Weapons Proliferation and Arms Control
We assess the production of conventional and non-conventional weapons, including nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. In this field we analyse the role of states, non-state actors, and international organizations in promoting or hindering disarmament efforts.
Defence Industry and Innovation
We examine the potential of the regional security industry to contribute to the development of indigenous capabilities, including the production and acquisition of advanced technologies and systems.
Military Capability Development
We explore the defence readiness of regional actors, including the effectiveness of their policies, strategies, and doctrines.
Civil Military Relations
We examine the nature of interactions in the region between society and the institutions in charge of its defense. This study includes the role of the military in politics, the effectiveness of civilian oversight and control, and the impact of political instability on the military's role and functions.
Defence Technology
We research the role of technology in national security and the potential of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and robotics to transform defence capabilities.
