Strategic Intelligence for 21st-Century MENA
What is Vizier
Vizier provides strategic intelligence on the landscape of power and industry across the Middle East and North Africa.
The 21st century has just begun. In 2025, MENA’s strategic position has taken on a new dimension as the emerging multipolar order sees political actors and states acting with greater autonomy. New supply chain integrations are being built, states are carving out regional niches, and the landscape is being reshaped for the first time by powers in the region instead of exclusively beyond it.
Vizier provides rigorous analysis through strategic intelligence on the landscape of power and industry across MENA. Our scope covers political economy and development, statecraft, technology, and geopolitics. We publish research on political dynasties, bureaucratic factions, family conglomerates, interstate rivalries, and the rise of manufacturing hubs, data centres, capital flows, technology research & development, commodities, and beyond.
Who is Vizier
We are a small team of researchers and industry practitioners, including consultants, engineers, and data scientists. We are entirely independent and non-partisan. Our work is followed by foreign ministry officials, members of international organisations, investment firms, and the wider public.
What You Can Expect from Vizier
Every Wednesday, Vizier publishes a report covering:
Topics ranging from Morocco’s automobile manufacturing industry, Turkiye’s military-industrial complex, the GCC’s capture of global financial flows, state-building efforts in Syria, and beyond.
Vizier publishes additional ad-hoc articles when our readers need to be informed.
