The Institute for Regional Security is an Australian military-industrial think tank.
According to its own description, "the Institute’s mission is the promotion of the peace, stability and prosperity of the peoples of the Indo-Pacific region through policy research, policy advice and advocacy, international dialogues, and the professional development of policy-makers."'[1] The "promotion of peace" seems to be pushing for increased armaments spending, more military alliances and a bigger security apparatus.
The Institute works with the Atlantic Council, among other things in the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge. In 2019 the Institute managed the exercise, practicing a disruption of Australian oil refining infrastructure.[1][2] In August 2019, the Institute hosted a speech by NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg.[3]
