Analyzing Complex Emergencies in Asia
The Strauss Center’s program on Complex Emergencies and Political Stability in Asia (CEPSA) explored the causes and dynamics of complex emergencies in Asia and options for building government capacity to prevent and respond to such situations.
The CEPSA program built on the tools and experience developed under the Center’s program on Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS). CEPSA and CCAPS were funded by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Minerva Initiative, a university-based, social science research program focused on areas of strategic importance to national security policy.

- What kinds of investments in preparedness and prevention could lessen these vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience and climate change adaptation?
- Where were investments in preparedness and prevention going, and how were they being targeted?
Publications
The CEPSA program published research briefs, reports, and codebooks intended for use by researchers, policymakers, and the public.
Data
The Complex Emergencies and Political Stability in Asia (CEPSA) program analyzed how various insecurities converge to impact vulnerability in Asia, and where and how these insecurities could develop into complex emergencies. Researchers have developed a number of new datasets and tools to examine these issues.
