Gulf Centre for Strategic Studies
- Gulf Centre for Strategic Studies
The Gulf Centre for Strategic Studies is a London based think tank which gathers and publishes information concerning the Persian Gulf States, and Arab issues in general. It has local branches within the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain.
Established in 1985, the Gulf Centre for Strategic Studies as well as publishing regular newsletters and 'seminar reports' on pertinent issues, has formed links to various British Politicians, including sponsoring 'fact-finding' missions to various Gulf States.
The strong links between The Gulf Centre for Strategic Studies and some British (generally Conservative) Members of Parliament have in the past caused some controversy, with various allegations of impropriety.
The Chairman of the Gulf Centre is Dr Omar Al-Hassan, a Palestinian-born Bahraini citizen. He was formerly the Ambassador for the Arab League to the United Kingdom and Ireland. He founded the Gulf Centre in 1985. During the 1980s he controversially met with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
