The Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC) is an independent think tank based in Jordan that operates within the organizational framework of the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD). RSC was established in 2018 to promote new thinking and policy initiatives to address the challenges confronting the contemporary Arab world. The center is a house of knowledge that enables and hosts inclusive dialogue on various issues pertinent to the Arab world to stimulate innovative social solutions.
The Center is not affiliated with any government or political movement. It stands for systems of government committed to the elimination of poverty and inequality, for governance that is inclusive and free of discrimination, and that promotes the rights of marginalized and vulnerable groups. The Center is committed to a region free of external domination, a just resolution of the Question of Palestine, which remains a central concern of the Arab world, the peaceful resolution of all other conflicts, and policies that effectively address the climate emergency. The Center envisages an Arab world in which the rule of law is fully respected and applied to all who reside within it, with an emphasis on the individual rights of citizenship and participation, and the collective right to self-determination.
