Current Projects
Arab Youth as Political Actors
After the optimism that accompanied the uprisings of 2011, the Arab region today is losing the momentum sparked by those grassroots reform movements. Repression, conflicts, and instability are plaguing countries across the region, destabilizing institutions and populations alike.
The Future of Human Rights Work in North Africa
In line with ARI’s approach to use rigorous research to understand and support diverse actors to build coalitions for sustainable reform in the region, this project seeks to analyze and advise the human rights actors in the region in a collaborative relationship to adjust to major social and political shifts in the post-Arab Spring period.
Legal Forum for Syria
Syrian lawyers and judges will be among the first group of professionals involved in the implementation of judicial and non-judicial mechanisms in the transitional process in Syria. They will carry in their practices the values of a modern justice system that will no longer be a tool for surveillance and punishment.

ARI 10th Anniversary: Going Forward
For the past decade, ARI has been building expertise and a cross-national network of researchers, policy-makers, and stakeholders who are committed to the political transformation of the region.
Arab Barometer
In the decade since its foundation in 2005, ARI has emerged as a leading institution in the measurement of the Arab democratic transition through its large-scale, cross-national quantitative research. ARI is a key partner in the Arab Barometer, a chapter of Global Barometer Surveys.
The 2018 Arab Elections: Between Citizens’ Disenchantment and Mobilization
Since the 2011 popular protests, the elections in Tunisia, Iraq and Lebanon can be seen as “freer” elections in the Arab world, not least because they haven’t taken place under an autocratic regime.
Arab Democracy Index
One of ARI’s main endeavours, the biennial intra-Arab collaborative Arab Democracy Index report provides an assessment of the democratic transition based on the measurement of 40 key indicators.
