Welcome to Armenian Center For American Studies

Armenian Center for American Studies is a nonpartisan independent research center based in Armenia. Our mission is to conduct in-depth research in American Studies to understand US foreign and internal political processes and their influence on Armenia and the region at large.

About us

The Armenian Center for American Studies (ACAS) prioritizes rigorous analysis of U.S. foreign policy and its direct strategic impact on Armenia. The Center delivers objective, empirical research on bilateral cooperation, expanding trade and investment potential, and emerging political frameworks. By collaborating with a network of premier academics, policymakers, and civil society leaders, ACAS produces high-impact, data-driven outputs designed to inform strategic decision-making and elevate public discourse.

Mission

The Center’s mission is to promote a deeper understanding of U.S. foreign policy and its strategic implications for Armenia, providing evidence-based recommendations to policymakers to foster a more stable, resilient, and mutually beneficial bilateral relationship. Crucially, the Center prioritizes the analysis of U.S.-backed economic corridors—specifically the TRIPP infrastructure framework—to ensure Armenia’s long-term sovereignty and strategic integration into global trade networks.

Conducting Research

The Armenian Center for American Studies utilizes a rigorous, multi-methodological framework, synthesizing primary and secondary data, qualitative interviews with high-level policymakers and domain experts, and comprehensive public opinion and media tracking. To translate these findings into actionable strategy, the center hosts specialized seminars, closed-door workshops, and international conferences that catalyze high-level strategic dialogue on U.S. foreign policy.
