OUR RESEARCH AREAS
Contemporary risks can remain unidentified, understudied or suffer from little pre-emptive and proactive operational and policy attention. Our research programmes address the geostrategic, DIME and regulatory implications of often cross-cutting modern risks to peace and security to enhance resilience.
Many emerging risks may impact the national and global economy in unexpected ways or lessen our general resilience.
