Counterterrorism and Homeland Security

Providing strategic thinking about how institutions are structured to guard against a range of threats to the United States.
As terrorism continues to evolve, the fight against terrorism must evolve, too. CSIS programs study the range of efforts to counter terrorist groups and their methods across the world. This research is led by the Transnational Threats Project, the International Security Program, Defending Democratic Institutions, and the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy.
