IRS990/Desc0Commentaries for 2024 In 2024, the Forum released 181 commentaries addressing both pressing issues and ongoing challenges in the Gulf. These publications spanned the Forums seven core research themes: Defense and Security, Society, Politics and Governance, U.S.-Gulf Policy, Economy and Innovation, Energy Policy, and Geopolitics. Covering a broad array of topics within these themes, the commentaries offered insights from both Forum-affiliated and independent scholars of the Gulf region. This open platform invites external experts to contribute their perspectives on key issues, enriching our collective understanding of the Gulfs complexities.
