STRATEGIECS in Its New Identity: The Strategic Policies Institute – SPI

Amid the accelerating global transformations and profound shifts shaping the international system, threats are no longer confined to conventional military conflicts between states or between states and non-state actors. Rather, they have expanded into increasingly complex domains, including technology, environment, and public health, alongside what is commonly referred to as “grey-zone threats” situated between peace and war, carrying multifaceted challenges that transcend traditional concepts of security and stability.

In light of these transformations, and building on the research and analytical achievements accomplished by “Strategiecs” over the past eight years, we announce the launch of the institute’s new identity under the name “Strategic Policies Institute – SPI”. This step reflects a qualitative advancement in the institute’s research structure, analytical methodologies, and foresight capabilities, while responding to the growing need for more comprehensive and adaptive approaches to understanding rapid regional and international transformations.

The current international environment has also generated an increasing state of “strategic ambiguity,” marked by a declining capacity for long-term forecasting and the growing complexity of planning and decision-making within a volatile and uncertain environment. Nevertheless, through positioning ourselves at the core of these transformations and employing advanced analytical and foresight methodologies, the institute has succeeded in developing a sophisticated capacity to anticipate future trajectories and assess emerging trends. The predictive accuracy of the institute’s research papers has exceeded 75%, reflecting the efficiency of its analytical models and the effectiveness of its research tools in forecasting political, economic, and strategic developments.

The transition to the Strategic Policies Institute – SPI represents a continuation of a cumulative research trajectory that began in 2018, with an advanced orientation toward enhancing risk analysis tools, strategic planning capabilities, and the transformation of data and insights into practical and actionable policy recommendations.

In its new phase, the institute seeks to broaden the scope of its research agenda to encompass interconnected political, economic, security, environmental, and health issues, while placing human security at the center of stability and development. This approach aligns with the nature of ongoing global transformations and contributes to the formulation of policies that are more capable of responding to future challenges and strengthening regional and international stability.
