The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington (AGSIW) was founded in 2015 and serves as a think tank focused on providing analysis and expert perspectives on the social, economic, and political landscapes of the Arabian Gulf states. Established by Ambassador Marcelle M. Wahba and backed by a consortium of supporters interested in Gulf affairs, the institute is headquartered in Washington, D.C. While it does not own a mainstream media outlet, its reach is primarily academic and policy-oriented, offering in-depth analysis on key issues such as regional politics, economic development, and U.S.-Gulf relations. Notable for its keen insight into Gulf geopolitics and economics, AGSIW frequently collaborates with scholars, policymakers, and institutions worldwide. Their comprehensive reports and analyses are highly regarded and often cited by both specialists and general audiences interested in the Middle East. AGSIW maintains a robust online presence through its website, agsiw.org, where it publishes articles, reports, and hosts webinars.
