Asia
The RUSI Asia programme explores the future of peace and security throughout the world's largest and most populous continent.
Many topical policy issues and regions are central to the programme's research agenda. These include China and Japan, nuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, and terrorism and insurgency in Central and South Asia.
In particular, the programme works to build links between policy-makers and practitioners in Britain and their counterparts across Asia, and to provide a meeting place for Asian policy-makers to confer and discuss security issues together.
RUSI Asia programme experts also regularly advise and consult businesses on security risks across Asia's regions and markets.

After Mumbai - India's Response
Commentary: 25 Nov 2009
The Mumbai attacks in November 2008 revealed deep and inherent flaws in India's national security. A year on, and after several far-reaching reforms, India still looks vulnerable but may well be equipped to respond swiftly and decisively.
