This is the repository for the research project "Middle East and North Africa Regional Architecture: Mapping Geopolitical Shifts, Regional Order and Domestic Transformations - MENARA" which studies the geopolitical order of the Middle East and North Africa region in the making, identifies the driving forces behind it, sheds light on bottom-up dynamics and assesses the implications of these processes on the EU and its policies towards the region.

The repository contains: 1) the generated data and metadata needed to validate the project results presented in academic publications and reports when anonymization techniques were feasible; 2) other treated and/or raw data and metadata that may be required for validation purposes or with reuse value. 

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 693244.
