Bandaranaike Academy For Leadership and Public Policy

A debt default. A revolution. A region in freefall. Sri Lanka’s economic collapse and Bangladesh’s political upheaval weren’t isolated events — they’re symptoms of something bigger.

Welcome to the age of polycrisis: where economic shocks, political instability, and global fragmentation hit all at once, compounding faster than any single crisis playbook can handle.

The question isn’t whether South Asia will be tested again. It’s whether the region can turn this chaos into its next opportunity.

Our Advanced Certificate Program, “The Political Economy of Polycrisis in South Asia,” unpacks what went wrong, where we’re headed, and what comes next.
