Regional Studies Center at the University of Mosul has published the fifth annual volume in its Economic and Social Studies series for the 2025–2026 academic year, as part of its ongoing efforts to document scientific and academic activities and highlight scholarly contributions in the fields of economics and social studies.

This publication reaffirms the Center’s commitment to promoting scientific research and providing knowledge resources that contribute to understanding and analyzing economic and social issues.

The publication also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) through the promotion of knowledge and scientific research; Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through its focus on economic studies; and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by supporting research into social issues and fostering a deeper understanding of societal challenges.
