= Gulf House for Studies and Publishing = The Gulf House for Studies and Publishing is a think tank based in London, working as a not-for-profit institution for research and publishing. It is concerned with the production and publication of monitoring and analysis studies as well as strategic and in-depth studies on policies and issues related to the Gulf states and the regional neighbourhood.

The Gulf House publishes periodic reports and research papers on the currents affairs of the Gulf region. The Gulf House also publishes an annual index to measure the level of political participation in the Gulf Cooperation Countries (PPIGCC), which provides an annual overview and scientific monitoring of the degree of political, social and cultural participation in the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries: Kingdom of Bahrain, Sultanate of Oman, State of Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. The index attempts to answer a major question pertaining to the extent and proportion of the GCC countries’ engagement of their citizens politically, and the consequent desire and ability of citizens themselves, individuals and groups, to participate in decision-making and influence the state’s policies, legislation, and in all aspects of political and social life in their states.
