Analysing Pacific Security

Pacific leaders rely on analysis to support their decision making in an increasingly complex operating environment.  

This capability needs to be employed with a clear-eyed view of Pacific national and regional security interests. It includes understanding the interdependence between people, environment, culture and local capability.  

The course provides the skills and understanding of analysis tradecraft for application in the Pacific. It supports participants to confront the perennial problems of analysis – the complexity of international and local developments, incomplete and ambiguous information as well as cognitive biases.  

Participants will enjoy practical exercises and feedback from qualified experts on their draft assessments. Ultimately, the purpose of this credential is to provide a shared language and skill base that supports a community of analysts in the Pacific.
