About PRSH
The Pacific Regional Security Hub (PRSH) was established in November 2024 in recognition of a critical need to deepen conversations, research and networks between and across Pacific thinkers and scholars in response to increased geopolitical attention being paid to the region.
The Pacific Regional Security Hub (PRSH) provides the space for more innovative and interdisciplinary Pacific agency and voices in regional human security, geopolitics, regional conflict, peace building, climate crisis and other security-related aspects. The Hub will connect scholars, policy makers, leaders and local communities in the region to engage in conversations, research and strategic thinking to address ongoing political, social, cultural, environmental and economic security issues.
