The Middle-East Observatory is a geopolitical study and research center based in Montreal, Canada. Given its North American location, the MEO is uniquely positioned to being non-partisan, objective and un-driven by political or ideological bias.

The MEO exclusively dedicates the whole of its activity to covering the Middle East given the ever omnipresent topicality.  Two fields of research are the subject of a very detailed concentration and a quasi daily follow-up:  

Political Islam
Revivalism, Fundamentalism, and Militancy

Magnifying Glass
Sudden or Cumulative Changes?

To make this landscape more understandable, especially since interest and fascination are rivals for the region’s complexity, the MEO team uses its expertise of enquiry and distinct multi-dimensional research both characterized by their extensive knowledge and close senior contacts from this region.  In order to succeed in such an intricate exercise, the MEO never hesitates to invest its academic formations and their professional expertise.

Driving our need to be at the forefront of the information market, the MEO weaves bonds of collaboration with partners: in North America, Europe and the Middle East such as: Osservatorio Geopolitico Medio-Orientale (OGMO) in Rome , Italy.

Currently the MEO is presenting a long term seminar series on Political and Militant Islam to the Italian Interior Ministry.
