Istishraf is a yearbook first published by the ACRPS in 2015 and dedicated to the study of future studies and forecasting. Istishraf addresses a void in the Arabic academic literature, which has hitherto lacked a publication dedicated to forecasting studies. Istishraf aims to improve accuracy and quality of Arab forecasting and allow for an understanding of the most prominent internal and external factors affecting development in the Arab states.
Notably, the yearbook builds on the decades of scholarship conducted in Arabic on futurology and attempts to create a unified body of knowledge and scholarly community. The codification of this material in a peer-reviewed publication allows for a critical, methodical approach to the work already published in the field.
