Strategic Voices Episode 1 – India’s Grand Vision: Can Strategy Match Ambition?

India’s strategic autonomy has long been a source of national pride and a flexible diplomatic instrument. In an earlier era, it allowed New Delhi to preserve freedom of action while engaging multiple power centers. Today, however, the same posture is being reinterpreted.

Enhancing Decision-Making with AI: Start Human, End Human

A new Security Nexus Perspective by Dr. Elizabeth Vaughan Moyer examines the strategic application of large language models in Indo-Pacific security operations while addressing technology competition and sovereignty concerns. Moyer, a DKI APCSS fellow and major in the U.S. Air Force, tackles the urgent challenge facing security professionals: leveraging artificial intelligence for enhanced decision-making without compromising critical thinking or accountability. The analysis emphasizes a key argument: organizations that embrace experimentation with imperfect technology will gain significant advantages over those waiting for ideal solutions.

Security Nexus Perspective: Small States and the Geopolitical Chessboard in the Indo-Pacific

A new Security Nexus Perspective by Dr. Andrea Malji, a professor at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, examines the strategic role of small states in the Indo-Pacific and their growing influence in global geopolitics. Malji highlights how nations such as Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Maldives, and Dominica, despite their small populations, occupy critical positions in the contest for global influence. Their decisions on diplomatic recognition, infrastructure partnerships, and alignment with major powers carry significant weight in shaping the regional balance of power. The analysis underscores a key argument: geopolitical competition in the Indo-Pacific is not limited to major capitals but is equally shaped by the choices of small states navigating external pressures and domestic challenges.

Security Nexus Perspective: Critical Minerals and Coercive Power in the Indo-Pacific

Andrea Malji, a professor at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, examines the strategic role of critical minerals in the Indo-Pacific and their use as tools of geopolitical leverage. Malji highlights how rare earth elements and their derivatives are essential for advanced technologies, with the Indo-Pacific serving as the hub for processing and transport. China’s dominance in refining capacity and control over key maritime chokepoints has enabled it to use mineral policy as a form of statecraft, influencing global supply chains and state behavior.
