Europe
European institutions, strategic autonomy, industrial policy, alliances, and relations with neighbouring regions.
The Map Room · قاعة الخرائط
Regions connected by corridors of influence.
CERAX reads Europe, the Arab world, the Gulf, and the Mediterranean through the diplomacy, security, energy, trade, and institutional relationships that connect them.
Regional architecture
Four rooms. One strategic map.
Each regional portfolio is connected to CERAX’s five programmes and informed by cross-border shifts in power, capital, security, and public policy.
Middle East & North Africa
Diplomatic realignment, political change, state resilience, regional competition, and pathways to cooperation.
The Gulf
Energy transformation, sovereign capital, technology, defence, and the Gulf’s expanding global role.
The Mediterranean
Maritime security, migration, infrastructure, ports, resources, and the political geography of connection.
Transatlantic linkages
The policies and alliances that shape Europe’s wider diplomatic and security environment.
Global corridors
Trade routes, investment networks, supply chains, and institutions that connect regional strategy to global order.
How we work
The map is analytical, not decorative.
Regional desks identify the political and institutional context. Programme teams examine the diplomatic, economic, security, and ideological forces within it.
The resulting analysis is designed for officials, parliamentary audiences, diplomatic missions, institutions, and strategic partners.
