Founded in 1998, by a group of senior Arab social scientists, AISC is dedicated to develop research organizations and assist researchers in the Arab world and beyond. This web site of ASSR provides a platform for the AISC's centers and pools resources designed to facilitate social science research in the region. Its virtual library serves as a gateway for Arab social scientists and for others studying the Arab world.
