WHAT WE DO
Each month, The Academy singles out a theme central to its publications—anything from oil crises to global trade—and unpacks it across three sharp formats: Policy Briefs for timely, actionable analysis; Past in Power for lessons from historical regimes and turning points; and Theoretical Reflections for the ideas that shape how we govern.
WHO WE ARE
Founded by Mustafa Nabi Shah, The Academy is a student-led micro think tank that brings clarity to complex policy. We produce sharp, historically oriented analysis on politics, economy, finance, and governance—delivered in formats young people can access and act on. We connect history, policy, and theory to shape the future, not just study the past.
Because policy shouldn’t be locked behind jargon. And because the future belongs to us only if we understand it.
