Middle East

The Middle East Program heads CSIS’s work on the region within the Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department, which analyzes a wide range of political, security, and socioeconomic issues related to the Middle East and North Africa. The International Security Program also pays special attention to the ways that tensions and security challenges in the Middle East and North Africa have effects beyond the region.
