INADIS is committed to assist indigenous peoples in dealing with globalization and development efforts that have or potentially disturb the social and environmental equilibriums maintained by indigenous values, customs, and practices. We work closely with target groups to provide insight and program plans that adhere to both the indigenous and sustainability principles.

Through the collaborations, we take actions like designing seminars, research, and other activities to influence the society deeply about the way of living of Mentawai people. We would like to attract younger generation with the highly respected and old customs that contain local wisdom that worth to tell.

INADIS Brief this week:
This article explores the global risks associated with a hypothetical Ukrainian invasion of Russia, supported by NATO allies such as the U.S. and the U.K., through offensive and defensive realist frameworks. Offensive realism suggests NATOβs backing aims to assert dominance and weaken Russian influence, using advanced weaponry like the Storm Shadow missile as a show of power. Defensive realism, conversely, interprets Russiaβs response as a rational defence against perceived Western encirclement, leading to a potential security dilemma. The study highlights the dangers of military escalation, where NATOβs actions could provoke retaliatory measures from Russia, potentially igniting a global conflict. It underscores the need for diplomatic measures to prevent escalation and maintain global stability.

A crisis in the Strait of Hormuz rarely stays in the Persian Gulf. It quickly travels across the Indian Ocean toward another chokepoint thousands of kilometres away: the Strait of Malacca.
