About the Series

The GPSF Politica Series is a flagship annual book-type monograph series advancing policy-relevant analysis of politics, governance, and political economy as core determinants of security, development, peace, and stability. The Series examines how states make strategic choices, exercise authority, and manage resources amid geopolitical competition, internal pressures, and structural change.

Grounded in Pakistan’s strategic and developmental realities yet globally engaged in outlook, Politica prioritizes judgment-driven scholarship that connects domestic decision-making with regional and global consequences, particularly from Global South perspectives.
