South Asia

The Indian subcontinent is a vast, strategically important, and heavily populated region. It juxtaposes the political and security chaos of Afghanistan and Pakistan with the emergent economic super-power status of democratic India. Added to the mix are Bangladesh, one of the world's poorest countries, and Sri Lanka, which has been in a state of near civil war since 1983.

Menas has been carrying out an increasing number of projects on South Asia. The highly experienced head of our regional team has an international reputation for research in South Asian geopolitics, development, and environmental issues.
