Dr. Saba Sattar

I am a scholar-practitioner with primary subject matter expertise in Indo-Pacific policymaking through a whole-of-government approach. I am an adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics (IWP), a private graduate school specializing in international affairs, national security, and intelligence studies in Washington, D.C. I also serve as a subject matter expert and security specialist in the private sector. I do not consult or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from my publications with The Conversation.

My research examines emerging threats in the Indo-Pacific region, with challenges ranging across the conflict continuum. My specific areas of focus reside in U.S.-India strategic relations, geoeconomic statecraft, military strategy, and maritime security. I previously provided extensive research support to the Department of Defense-based institution, the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies.
