Geopolitics & Security
Analysis of regional dynamics, power shifts, and global alignments.
At a time when complexity defines global affairs, we offer clarity, depth, and a distinctly regional perspective grounded in research, enriched by dialogue, and driven by impact.
Pax Orientalis is a research-driven think tank based in the United Arab Emirates, dedicated to shaping the future of the Middle East through rigorous analysis, informed dialogue, and strategic foresight.
To advance understanding and shape smart decision-making across the Middle East through independent research, strategic insight, and informed storytelling.
Founded on the belief that knowledge empowers progress, Pax Orientalis brings together experts, researchers, and visionaries to decode the region’s most pressing political, economic, technological, environmental, and cultural trends. We aim to foster balanced perspectives and pragmatic solutions to the complex challenges shaping the MENA region and its role in the global order.
We produce high-impact research and offer tailored advisory services across five core domains :
Analysis of regional dynamics, power shifts, and global alignments.
Insight into diversification, development strategies, and market trends.
Research on environmental resilience and green transformation.
Exploration of digital disruption, AI, and future-driven policy.
Studies on identity, soft power, and the cultural pulse of the region.
We work with governments, institutions, and private sector actors seeking clarity and strategic foresight.
At Pax Orientalis, we envision a Middle East that is more connected, more resilient, and more empowered intellectually, economically, and culturally. We believe that the region’s future lies not only in its rich history but also in its ability to shape new pathways of cooperation, innovation, and sustainable growth.
Our vision is of a region where knowledge and dialogue transcend borders, where economies are diversified and adaptive, and where culture and creativity are seen as engines of progress rather than as secondary pursuits. We seek a Middle East that confidently engages with global transformations, harnessing technology, sustainability, and innovation to build inclusive prosperity for all.
Ultimately, we aspire to contribute to a regional landscape that is not defined by conflict or division, but by collaboration, intellectual leadership, and cultural dynamism: a Middle East that offers models of resilience and inspiration to the wider world.
At the heart of our work lies a commitment to excellence, integrity, and meaningful impact. We strive to create knowledge and solutions that inspire, inform, and drive positive change for all stakeholders.
We stand by intellectual freedom and nonpartisan research.
We uphold rigorous standards of accuracy, transparency, and integrity.
Our work speaks to the moment and shapes what comes next.
We elevate diverse voices and interdisciplinary approaches.
We aim for real-world influence not just ideas, but ideas that move.
The name “Pax Orientalis” reflects our belief in the power of ideas to shape peace, prosperity, and cooperation across the East.
We are building a regional hub of thought leadership; a platform for research, dialogue, and action grounded in the realities of the Middle East, but with a global outlook.
We don’t just study change. We help shape it.
