Research that moves.

Verve Research is an independent research collective focussed on understanding the relationship between militaries and societies amidst political change in the Indo-Pacific region.

Militaries continue to play an important role, particularly in emerging democracies, in ways that do not fit neatly into the traditional models of civil-military relations.

Our role is to delve deeply into the complex relationship dynamics between militaries and their societies. We provide this information in service of public debate, government policymaking and stakeholder understanding of the region.
