The AIDIA Policy Briefs give an in-depth analysis on contemporary political, foreign policy, economic, and strategic issues of South Asia in general and the Himalayan region in particular. In an effort to make the information, data, and analysis as precise as possible, the format of the policy brief is based on two-authorship including one from the country where the topic is covered in that particular volume.  The structure of the brief includes the context, background of the issue, identifying stakeholders and challenges, and making policy recommendations accordingly, which could be useful to state policymakers, corporate houses, journalists, and academia.
