Governance, Conflict Management, and Codes

We created this unit to study the trends of transformations, conflicts and crises in Syria and Iraq, as well as to produce case studies and provide estimates on the issues, situations and currents, based on the variables in the region, within the framework of the changes in the strategic environment influencing internal security, defense policies, regional balances and international strategies.

The “Regional Estimates” is one of the most important activities of the Center. The Unit prepares special situation assessments, which are concerned with following up the developments in the major transformations that represent transboundary and multidimensional regional phenomena, with special attention to the “flashpoints” and critical crises in the region. All the products of the center, including assessments, position papers, and situation reports among others, are produced according to advanced methods, adopted by the Center.

Our workshops provide a general description of legal liability issues so that community elected officials manage risks and avoid a potential conflict of interest situations in a reasonable way when making their decisions.

Sound knowledge of risk management is an essential and key component of good leadership and will be covered in the workshops. Participants will acquire new knowledge in this area and through discussion, members will learn more about how to avoid the potential conflict of interest situations and clearly understand the process involved in dealing with conflict of interest issues once they have taken place. We also cover the issue of bias. Discussing codes of Practice/Conduct guide Stakeholders in their operation and we focus on developing a Code that works for the Issues of the day.
