The Strategic Learning initiative offers free online courses that aim to sharpen analysts’ understanding of strategic concepts in Southern Asia and beyond. Strategic Learning’s latest course, Naval Competition in the Indian Ocean Region, is a 4-hour long course that examines strategic competition at sea through evaluating technical requirements, risks, policy drivers, and emerging trends related to maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region. Students will explore the maritime domain’s role in competition, current and emerging naval capabilities, and approaches to arms control and confidence-building measures through interactive features, text explainers, and video interviews with more than 30+ leading and rising scholars from India, Pakistan, China, the United States, and beyond.
