Core Competencies: Where Policy - Innovation and Insight converge

The Institute of War and Peace Studies (IWPS) brings together a unique blend of analytical rigor, field-based research, and strategic insight to address the evolving landscape of global conflict, peacebuilding, and power politics. Our expertise spans defense and security policy, post-conflict recovery, artificial intelligence and digital warfare, and strategic competition—particularly in the Global South. IWPS specializes in producing policy-relevant research through white papers, surveys, public opinion polls, and in-depth case studies. We are equally committed to monitoring human rights and international humanitarian law (IHL) violations in conflict zones, ensuring that accountability and ethical governance remain central to our work.

Our team also explores the application of emerging technologies—including AI, autonomous systems, and surveillance tools—in defense and security domains. By connecting policy analysis with on-the-ground realities, IWPS offers innovative yet practical insights for governments, civil society, and academic institutions alike. We strive to bridge the gap between research and action in a rapidly transforming global order.
