Research unit
International and Regional Research Unit
This unit examines the profound changes that have led to the transformation of the global system into a global society and the emergence of new rules alongside states, most notably civil society institutions at the global, regional, and local levels. This unit will focus on the systematic study of changes in the international system and their implications for regional systems and Arab countries.
Political Research Unit
The experts in this unit apply the comparative political science approach and conduct research on political developments in various countries around the world, with a focus on the Arab world and the Middle East.
The unit will attempt to draw up future scenarios for possible changes in the Arab world and propose integrated cultural development plans, taking into account global changes, regional conditions, and the evolution of local circumstances.
It is also interested in comparative studies in the field of political ideas, especially those related to developments in democratic thought and the diversity of democratic practices, in addition to the critical importance of studying religious discourse in all its diversity, taking into account the central value of religion in contemporary Arab society and the development of extremist religious tendencies and their impact on the masses, which may lead to the emergence of revolutionary social movements that undermine political stability.
Economic Research Unit
This unit is concerned with the systematic study of global economic issues, with a focus on the Arab economy, taking into account the potential changes in the resource structure of many Arab countries and proposing alternative economic plans that ensure continued sustainable development.
Future Research Unit
This unit is considered one of the most important units of the new center because it will conduct a critical study of the prevailing strategic visions in the world in preparation for formulating an Arab strategic vision based on modern approaches in future studies, which will focus on surveying the opinions of representative samples of Arab thinkers, politicians, intellectuals, and experts.
Cultural and Social Research Unit
It is the main unit for analyzing Iraqi and Arab society in all its components, focusing on patterns of political, economic, social, and cultural interaction. On the other hand, it focuses on studying the problems of contemporary Arab culture and its prospects for development using a cultural analysis methodology, without neglecting the application of a comparative approach to review and analyze the experiences of other cultures.
Historical Research Unit
This unit focuses on studying Islamic and political history in light of new developments, as nations reinterpret their history after significant events in their history, which has happened several times in the history of our Arab nation. Therefore, we believe that now is the time, not tomorrow, to reinterpret the history of political Islam in our region, especially after its inability and failure to bring about change after coming to power. Consequently, we must deconstruct the ideology of political Islam and the myths on which it is based so that we can move beyond the past and chart scenarios for the future.
Translation Unit
This unit specializes in translating from Arabic into foreign languages and vice versa in order to follow up on everything published internationally, while providing legal accreditation for the translation unit at the center.
Information and Publication Unit
This unit is responsible for creating a comprehensive database in the Center's areas of interest, as well as monitoring the various publishing programs for the diverse scientific and intellectual output that the Center will produce.
Main Research Programs Unit
The Center designs and implements a coherent set of core research programs to deepen scientific knowledge of political and intellectual phenomena.
Digital Archiving Unit
It specializes in archiving all documents, publications, decisions, and political, journalistic, scientific, and academic correspondence related to Iraqi, Arab, regional, and international affairs. The purpose of this unit is to provide a comprehensive and public database that can be referenced and utilized. The archive is history, and history is one of the most important tools for research and analysis.
