The Gulf

The ORSAM Gulf Studies Coordination Office aims to comprehensively analyze the security and defense dynamics of the Gulf region and provide policymakers and academics with reliable, research-based insights. To achieve this, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Our research focuses on key issues such as developing collective defense strategies against regional security threats, promoting regional stability, and reducing external dependencies. We also examine policies that strengthen the region’s independence and sovereignty by balancing relations with global powers. This methodological framework supports the production of in-depth analyses designed to enhance national security and foster regional development in the Gulf.
