Below, you will find a sample of tables that I have designed/conceived during the past few years. Enjoy!
This table is part of a piece I wrote examining the growing demand for UAVs in the Gulf. I examine the shift from China as a main supplier during the 2010s, to Turkey in the early 2020s, to domestic suppliers in the UAE starting around 2023.
This table is part of a Strategic Comment examining the UAE’s security cooperation with partners in Africa.
This table is at the heart of a piece I wrote examining Saudi Arabia’s naval transformation. Specifically, I look at the triggers of modernisation, recent and planned naval acquisitions, efforts to develop a domestic naval shipbuilding capability, and persisting challenges (key capabilities remain underfunded, long-term sustainability of the shipbuilding enterprise, personnel retention, and lack of rigorous and regular training, among others).
This table is from a piece I wrote examining the modernisation of GCC navies amidst rising maritime insecurity.
This table is from a piece I wrote examining Armenia’s rearmament after the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War. Specifically, I look at how it chose to reduce its reliance on Russia as a security partner, and to diversify its defence partnerships by forging new arms deals with countries including France and India to modernise the country’s military.
This table is from a piece I wrote tracking the expansion in armoured vehicle production in GCC states, and particularly in the UAE.
The table below is part of a chapter I wrote on the economic impacts of the Red Sea crisis, as part of a broader report examining the consequences of the Houthi attacks and maritime disruption: Navigating Troubled Waters: The Houthis’ Campaign in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The table was designed by the IISS Design team.
This table traces major Saudi investments in port infrastructure between 2022 and 2023. It is part of a piece I wrote on the trend of growing maritime connectivity in the Arabian Peninsula, where I look at the development of domestic port capacity, investments in ports abroad and attempts to create new shipping lines transiting the Gulf.
This table is part of a piece I wrote examining South Korean defence exports to the Middle East. The piece was published in November 2023, which is why the table doesn’t capture the February 2024 sale of Cheongung-II (KM-SAM Block II) medium-range surface-to-air missile systems to Saudi Arabia, worth USD3.31bn.
