Geopolitics

Map showing Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Persian Gulf.

The Baghdad Center examines the geopolitical forces reshaping the Middle East and North Africa, including regional rivalries, shifting alliances, strategic competition, and the influence of global powers. Our work analyzes how the policies of the United States, China, Russia, and other international actors interact with the interests of MENA states and shape regional stability, diplomacy, trade, and security.
