Strategic Learning is an online initiative offering free courses and resources on strategic issues in Southern Asia and beyond. By explaining concepts and providing access to a wide range of expert viewpoints, we help students and analysts improve their analytical skills and knowledge on matters of deterrence and strategy.

Strategic Learning’s newest course, Naval Competition in the Indian Ocean Region, dives deep into strategic dynamics and deterrence at sea. Naval Competition in the Indian Ocean Region evaluates the technical requirements, policy drivers, emerging trends, and risks related to sea-based deterrence in the Indian Ocean Region through interactive features, text explainers, and video interviews with more than 30 scholars and practitioners from Pakistan, India, China, the United States, and beyond.
