Seeking to attain responsible and serious objectivity as well as openness onto local; Arab; and international environments, ACPS strives to:

- Contribute to the creation and development of specialized theoretical and systematic studies that suit the Arab environment. Examples of these studies are: identifying theoretical frameworks for political pluralism; foreign policy and its mechanisms; crisis management; political development; etc. 

- Explore theoretical principles and visions of Political Islam, and study Islamic political movements in the Arab World in terms of  performance and approaches;

- Contribute to the study and analysis of modern political issues and problems in the region, and devise a better understanding of how these issues could be diagnosed and dealt with; and

- Lay emphasis on the study of the mutual relationship and effects between the international community and its policies on the one hand, and the Middle East and its local and regional effective powers on the other hand. The study of this issue should rest on civilized means that target to benefit from the experiences of leading Arab and Western intellectuals in this regard
