06NIDS appointed the Director, Policy Simulation and established the Policy Simulation Division, to make use of NIDS' advanced expert knowledge and research capabilities to plan and implement policy simulations, which involve creating scenarios, facilitating debates among participants, and creating reports. In addition, NIDS works with overseas research institutions to conduct joint research, and to acquire/research state-of-the-art techniques.ResearchSimulation exhibition at the Connections Japan conferenceUtilization of simulations in policy supportGlobal Security IssuesThe international security environment is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. This is reflected in the obstruction of free navigation in the oceans, the escalation of threats in the so-called new domains including cyberspace, the oceans, outer space, and the electromagnetic spectrum, and the development of battles in the cognitive spectrum. NIDS conducts research on international and national responses to these global security challenges.Research on the Development, Operation, and Institutions of Defense CapabilityNIDS conducts research and studies on defense strategy, alliance cooperation, defense industry, deterrence, security legislation, national defense organization, political-military relations, and the human infrastructure of the defense force.Regional Security RelationsNIDS conducts unique analyses of the strategic environment surrounding the Indo-Pacific countries that are Japan's key security partners, and the situations in countries and regions that have significant influence on Japan's security. We undertake analyses from comprehensive perspectives encompassing diplomacy, the economy, domestic policy, and the military. Our scope extends from the United States, China, the Korean Peninsula, Russia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and South Asia, to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.Research ThemesResearch activities at NIDS are intended to address the fluid strategic environment that currently surrounds Japan. The following are examples of themes closely related to Japan's national security on which researchers at NIDS focus their efforts.Policy SimulationPolicy simulation is a means of examining actual policy issues by creating hypothetical scenarios and discussing how the country in question should act and how other concerned countries would react in the scenario. Policy simulation has developed significantly, particularly in the United States, and is widely incorporated into making strategies/policies by national defense and diplomatic authorities.
