Mastering Policy & Strategy in the Indo-Pacific — Americas Stream
A graduate-level executive program on Indo-Pacific strategy — designed and delivered from within the region, with live online seminars scheduled for US, Canadian, and Latin American professionals.
Who the Americas Stream is For
- Policy advisers, diplomats, and defence officials working on Indo-Pacific portfolios from Washington, Ottawa, Brasília, and beyond.
- Corporate leaders in trade, critical minerals, finance, infrastructure, and technology with exposure to Indo-Pacific markets.
- Analysts in think tanks, NGOs, and international organisations needing an Indo-Pacific lens grounded in regional realities.
- Graduate students and early-career professionals in the Americas planning careers connected to Indo-Pacific strategy.
All participants in the Americas, Europe/EMEA, and Asia-Pacific follow the same curriculum, readings, and learning outcomes. The streams exist solely to align live seminars to time zones.
Live Session Times — Americas
This window is optimised for mid–senior professionals across North and South America: after the main meeting blocks, before evening commitments. Sessions are delivered live by IPSC faculty based in the Indo-Pacific, with regionally grounded case studies.
Program Snapshot
- Core (8 weeks): Geopolitics, alliances, defence, geoeconomics, regional institutions, and technology risk.
- Optional module (4 weeks): Advanced Strategic Risk & Futures — defence innovation, critical technology, cyber and AI risk.
- Format: Two live seminars per week, targeted readings, optional policy/strategy brief.
- Outcome: A working Indo-Pacific strategy lens you can apply directly in US, Canadian, and Latin American contexts.
Fees & Corporate Options
IPSC applies differential pricing across regions. The Americas Stream follows the standard IPSC executive rate, with preferential pricing available for institutional cohorts and public-sector partners.
Asia-Pacific–based participants are encouraged to apply via the Asia-Pacific Stream, which offers a regional pricing band aligned with Indo-Pacific income levels.
For corporate or government group bookings in the Americas, IPSC can deliver:
- Closed-door institutional cohorts aligned to your internal calendars.
- Tailored case material focused on your sector or country.
- Private briefings or add-on strategy sessions with IPSC faculty.
Program Fees
- 8-week core program: USD 650
- 12-week program (core + advanced module): USD 950
These fees apply to participants enrolling in the Americas Stream, reflecting regional income levels and IPSC’s differential pricing framework across global time-zone cohorts.
Next Steps
If you are based in the US, Canada, or Latin America and your work touches Indo-Pacific strategy, this stream is designed for you. The curriculum is identical to all other streams; only the live seminar times and pricing structure differ by region.
Places are limited.
