IAPSS MENA is a consortium of students, early career researchers and emerging industry professionals with backgrounds in political science and its allied fields. The region hosts members from across the MENA region whose interests intersect the diverse issues that embody socio-political and economic gaps and priorities in MENA-region affairs. This includes issues transcending youth and development, peace and conflict, geopolitics, digital revolution, governance, development finance, trade, climate change and emergencies among others.
The IAPSS MENA outreach strategy responds to the career aspirations of students and young professionals in MENA, who are in pursuit of opportunities by which they could lead meaningful change on the continent, as well as channels to build and expand productive networks. We pursue IAPSS’ regionalisation vision – which seeks to make the association more accessible, inclusive, and global – by organising workshops, webinars and conferences that congregate members and friends of the association from different countries on the continent.
Our goal is to build IAPSS MENA into becoming a powerhouse of human and material governance resources, and home to passionate students who will lead the next generation of change-makers globally.
