Description
The Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) was established in 1984 as an academic unit of the University of Jordan concerned mainly with research in the fields of regional conflicts, international relations and security. As a result of the country's democratization process that started in 1989, however, the center has expanded its scope of activities to include planning and research in such new fields as democracy, political pluralism, development, the economy and the environment. Over the past few years, the CSS has organized numerous conferences, seminars and workshops. In addition it has also conducted several opinion polls aimed at providing researchers and decision-makers with material and data that would have been unavailable through other means.
In order to meet its expanded goals in a fast-changing national and regional political atmosphere, the center set up three research units:
Aiming to establish facts and discern trends, the unit has so far conducted surveys on such key and controversial issues as Jordanian-Palestinian relations, Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, the democratization process and women's perceptions of their role in public life. Those surveys' findings have been of tremendous interest to politicians, economists and the public at large and have contributed significantly to public debate. The center thus plans to strengthen the unit even further and press ahead with plans to study public opinion on various issues that remain largely unexplored.
