European Security, Politics, and Economics

The CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program closely follows political, social, and economic developments in Europe

As such, the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program analyzes both domestic and pan-European issues, tracking developments in domestic politics, foreign affairs, institutional capabilities, and the integration and enlargement processes of the European Union, providing insight into Europe’s role as a global player and its impacts on U.S. policy and interests abroad.
