Our programs
The Center for International Policy is a woman-led, progressive, independent nonprofit center for research, education, and advocacy working to advance a more peaceful, just, and sustainable U.S. approach to foreign policy.
Our programs provide interdisciplinary, intersectional, and cross-cutting analysis of the true causes and unforeseen consequences of conflict. Crucial to our mission is incorporating the voices of people most affected by U.S. foreign policy in the regions we study. This strategic analytical approach is integrated into all of CIP’s programs to offer alternative solutions to security challenges that are effective and sustainable for our nation, our global community, and our planet.

Watch this timely conversation on Trump's Gaza plan and its implications for US Middle East policy, with @NancyGEO, @MattDuss, and me, hosted by @BuffettInst:
Netanyahu views the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire as an even greater threat to his grip on power than the ceasefire itself or its first phase.
If he backs out with Trump’s blessing, the entire region is on a collision course with deeper instability and conflict.
The President of the United States is blatantly promoting bribery & corruption, ostensibly “to enhance U.S. competitiveness abroad”. While there are valid arguments to be made about the effectiveness of the current law, halting it would legitimize corruption & encourage impunity.
In pressuring nearby countries to take a population he wants forcibly and permanently displaced, Trump has crossed the line from proposing a crime against humanity to attempting to commit one.
US lawmakers and partners must reject and stop this atrocity.
The president turned up the pressure on the two nations to agree to his plan for them to house the Palestinian population of Gaza and said the...

A dangerous combination for America and the world.
#UnitedNations "member states began negotiating a 1st-ever treaty on international tax cooperation that could replace the current system that deprives governments of billions"
This is amazing news, despite the US walking out!
#UNTaxTreaty
This week, United Nations member states began negotiating a first-ever treaty on international tax cooperation that could replace the current...
As US media does its usual thing of uncritically regurgitating “blame Hamas” taking points, Israelis and Palestinians themselves are pretty clear on who is really threatening the Gaza ceasefire.
