The field of Strategic Studies always remains relevant in the geopolitics of the world. The post-cold war expectations of reduced relevance of armed conflict between nations is still a distant dream, as proven by the manifestation of conflicts in Russia-Ukraine and Gaza, each with its own distinctive power dynamics. A nation’s economic conditions, technological threshold, military power, and its international relations, continue to define a nation’s power. All these components hold significant relevance in the emerging geopolitics of the world. This programme intends to carry out empirical and qualitative research and analysis and advocate policies evolved, in the field of strategic studies as relevant to the aspirational and emerging India. The focus areas are:

• Indo-Pacific
• China Studies.
• QUAD.
• Maritime Security
