Regional Security Studies
The NAVI Research Institute's Regional Security Studies Research Program is dedicated to examining critical geopolitical landscapes through comprehensive analyses of Transatlantic, Indo-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and Western Balkans security studies. By delving into Transatlantic Security Studies, the program scrutinizes the interconnected security dynamics among NATO countries, fostering a deeper understanding of collaborative defense strategies. In the realm of Indo-Pacific Security Studies, the program explores the evolving security challenges in this pivotal region, contributing to informed policy discussions. Similarly, in the context of the Middle East, Africa, and Western Balkans, the program conducts in-depth studies to unravel the complexities of regional security issues. The insights generated by this program aim to inform transatlantic leaders and societies, ultimately contributing to the formulation of nuanced and effective security policies in these diverse and strategically significant regions.
