Centre for Indo-Pacific Studies

The Centre for Indo-Pacific Studies is a research centre within the Henry Jackson Society that aims to educate the public about the geostrategic importance of the Indo-Pacific region, and to explore structural shifts, regional complexities and historic tensions that exist alongside the economic and social growth that constitutes the “rise of Asia”. It also advocates a British role in the broader Indo-Pacific region, commensurate with Britain’s role as a custodian of the rule-based international system.

With some predicting that the region will account for 40% of global GDP by 2050, a post-Brexit Britain must develop a foreign policy posture for the region that navigates British economic interests and cultural and political values on the one hand, while maintaining strong support for regional liberal democracies and international law on the other.
