Policy Research At FINS
Forum for Integrated National Security is a non-profit policy research organisation.
As a policy research institution, we study national security challenges and policy-related issues.
FINS is a platform for experts to share their perspective and ideas with civil society.
The idea about FINS came when defence experts thought that ‘compartmentalized approach’ in matters of national security needs to be replaced with ‘Integrated National Security (INS) approach’. Such an approach will be more effective in dealing with future challenges. Furthermore, the Integrated National Security approach will strengthen our ability to achieve the desired national objectives.
