Advancing independent discourse on Asia-Pacific

Consortium for Asia Pacific Studies (CAPS) is a Pakistan-based multi-institutional forum that seeks to expand objective understanding of Asia Pacific region, which has assumed greater geopolitical significance in recent times and is projected to maintain its relevance for foreseeable future.

Our goal is to inform policy discourse and educate public on Pakistan's policy choices amidst global transformations.

Our Methodology

We harness the power of modern digital communication platforms to both generate and circulate expert discourse concerning the Asia Pacific region. Through leveraging these advanced tools, we facilitate the exchange of insights, analyses, and perspectives among scholars and stakeholders, ensuring a wide-reaching and impactful dissemination of knowledge.
