Research
The IPCS is working to draft a comprehensive framework for security studies. Ideally, this framework will be responsive to the constantly changing demands of national, regional and global security. This is accomplished by analyzing existing approaches to security, peace, and world order and creating models for the development of alternative approaches. More specifically, the IPCS focuses on:
- Disarmament and Arms Control
- Non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction
- Comprehensive and Cooperative Security
- Non-military Threats to Security
- Confidence building measures
- Terrorism
- Indo-Pakistani Relations
- Sino-Indian Relations
- Regional Cooperation in South Asia
- South and South-east Asian Security
- The Foreign Policies of the Countries in South and South-east Asia
- The Foreign Policies of the Major Powers
- China's Security Policies
- General Security and Governance
- Human Security

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
