Strategy, Policy & Governance examines how states, institutions, and power centers define objectives, design policies, and govern complex security and technology ecosystems. This magazine focuses on the strategic decision-making layer—where doctrine, policy, regulation, and long-term planning translate national intent into coordinated action across military, technological, economic, and societal domains.
IDST Intelligence Briefings
The Strategy, Policy & Governance magazine connects multiple strategic sub-domains that examine power, risk, and coordination from different angles.
Why This Magazine Exists
Modern power is not exercised through force alone. It is shaped by doctrine, policy frameworks, governance structures, and strategic coordination across institutions. This magazine exists to explain how strategic intent is formulated, how policy choices constrain or enable action, and how governance systems determine whether nations successfully adapt to emerging threats and technological change..
What We Track
This magazine tracks developments across the full space and advanced-domain security ecosystem, including:
- National security strategies and defense doctrines
- Policy frameworks governing defense, technology, and innovation
- Strategic planning, institutional coordination, and governance models
- Civil–military relations and decision-making structures
- Technology governance, regulation, and strategic control mechanisms
- Risk management, resilience planning, and long-term preparedness
