IPCS Issue Briefs
The Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS) was established in August 1996 as an independent think tank devoted to studying security issues related to South Asia. Over the years leading strategic thinkers, academics, former members of the civil services, foreign services, armed forces, police forces, paramilitary forces and members of the media have been associated with the institute in its endeavor to chalk out a comprehensive framework for security studies - one which can cater to the changing demands of national, regional and global security. The IPCS Issue Briefs provide concise and condensed information on important security and policy issues relevant to the South Asia region.
