The Security Studies Unit was created in April 2018 with the goal of studying issues of national, regional, and international security. The unit explores a variety of topics, including: terrorism, armed non-state groups, regional conflicts and their implications, and radical ideologies and their evolutions.
The Security Studies Unit aims to attract distinguished researchers and cooperate with renowned academic institutions and international centers of expertise. Through procedures of rigorous analysis and scholarly research, it will be able to provide knowledge-based policy recommendations that contribute to the growth and development of the Kingdom and the region as a whole.
