The Center for Levant Affairs (CLA) is an independent strategic research and advisory center dedicated to the study of the Levant and the broader Middle East. We work at the intersection of geopolitics, law, economics, security, and culture, aiming to transform deep analysis into practical insight and informed solutions.
CLA was founded on the belief that the region’s challenges cannot be understood or addressed through fragmented perspectives. Political transformation, conflict dynamics, economic restructuring, legal frameworks, and cultural identity are all interconnected. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive and balanced understanding of these dimensions, and to contribute to building sustainable stability, governance, and cooperation in the Levant.
We specialize in:
The Center serves as a platform that bridges research and decision-making. We do not only observe regional developments; we work to interpret them, anticipate their trajectories, and offer realistic policy options grounded in regional realities and international standards.
CLA addresses a diverse audience that includes diplomats, international organizations, research institutions, policymakers, and private sector stakeholders interested in the Middle East. Our work is guided by professional independence, analytical rigor, and a commitment to ethical responsibility.
Beyond research, the Center views dialogue as a strategic tool. Through cultural exchange, civil dialogue programs, and initiatives promoting citizenship and reconciliation, CLA seeks to contribute to rebuilding trust within societies and between the region and the international community.
At its core, the Center for Levant Affairs is not only a think tank, but a strategic platform for understanding, engagement, and transformation. We aim to be a space where knowledge informs policy, dialogue shapes stability, and analysis supports a more coherent and balanced future for the Levant.
