ARMENIA’S STRATEGIC REORIENTATION

Media 01 May 2024

GEOpolitics, Issue No. 6, May 2024

As an independent think tank in Armenia, the Regional Studies Center (RSC) provides a consistent set of policy-related analyses and assessments of developments in Armenia, the South Caucasus and the wider region. The following is our most recent analytical commentary, by RSC Director Richard Giragosian:

“Armenia’s Strategic Reorientation,” GEOpolitics, Issue No. 6, May 2024.

In this article for the Tbilisi-based “GEOpolitics” journal, Giragosian offers an assessment of Armenia’s “pivot to the West,” the challenge of dealing with Russia and the issue of the broader benefits of “connectivity” through the restoration of regional trade and transport links.

This “GEOpolitics” journal is published by the Research Institute Gnomon Wise, based in Tbilisi, Georgia, with Dr. Sergi Kapanadze serving as the Editor. Kapanadze is a former vice-speaker of the Georgian Parliament (2016-2020) and a Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister (2011-2012). This contribution is also the latest in our activities in cooperation with partners in the Georgian analytical community and academia.

We are seeking your support

Would you like to make a difference in Armenia?
Consider supporting our work to deepen democracy, strengthen statecraft and defend the Armenian national interest.

As Armenia faces an unprecedented combination of threats and challenges, we each have a part to play in helping the Armenian nation. But after standing on the frontline committed to the defense and development of Armenia for over twelve years, our think tank, the Regional Studies Center (RSC), is now asking for your support.

As a think tank in Armenia, we focus on contributing to Armenia’s public policy process by providing analytical support in the areas of foreign policy, national security, defense reform and diplomatic strategy. We further seek to strengthen statehood and support statecraft by engaging with Armenian state institutions, including ministries and parliament.

Our work also consists of an advocacy campaign to articulate the Armenian perspective among the diplomatic community and international organizations. And we are proud to have garnered a prominent reputation as a leading Armenian source for interviews and comments for a wide range of American and European media outlets.

Yet one of our most important efforts involves our investment in youth and young professionals in Armenia. Our youth programs comprise a series of educational training courses devoted to professional development and capacity-building, and designed to educate, empower and enhance Armenia’s gifted and promising next generation.

But to sustain and expand our work in this time of crisis for Armenia, we are now asking for your financial support. Your generous contribution and support are greatly appreciated, and we welcome donations in any amount, in USD or EUR (banking details attached).

Thank you,

Richard Giragosian
