Middle East
CSIS's work analyzes a wide range of political, security, and socioeconomic issues related to the Middle East and North Africa, with special attention to the ways that changes in the Middle East and North Africa have effects beyond the region.
The Middle East Program leads CSIS's expertise on the Middle East and North Africa, with a broad-based approach to the region’s politics and diplomacy. Functional programs such as the Energy and National Security Program, the International Security Program, and the Burke Chair in Strategy cover Middle East aspects of their principal issues of focus, often in cooperation with the Middle East Program.
