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.

Despite often being mislabeled as isolationism, what Donald Trump offers is in fact aggressive unilateralism—in other words, a vision of the United States unbound by rules and unashamedly self-interested, write @NancyGEO and @mattduss.
Washington needs something better than “America first” and “America is back.”
A great piece worth reading by @NancyGEO & @mattduss in @ForeignAffairs! The US needs a new foreign policy, neither America First nor America is Back. "Simply put, building a healthy & secure democracy is incompatible w/an endless quest 4 global dominance"
Washington needs something better than “America first” and “America is back.”
We here in the US need a positive and hopeful vision for our role in the world. This is it 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Let’s Go! @mattduss @NancyGEO @CIPolicy
Americans must choose: integrity or corruption, accountability or complicity, impunity or the rule of law. Powerful and persuasive piece from @NancyGEO and @mattduss via @ForeignAffairs
Washington needs something better than “America first” and “America is back.”
.@NancyGEO & @mattduss call for a bold reimagining of US foreign policy—centered on global cooperation, the common good, and moving beyond outdated strategies that make conflict inevitable.
Washington needs something better than “America first” and “America is back.”
Okail and Duss: "Simply put, building a healthy and secure democracy is incompatible with an endless quest for global dominance." imo, we would be so much closer to a more just world if all American policymakers took this ethos to heart
“Having this revolving door of people who sit on boards of major defense contractors and then cycle in and out of the Pentagon is a problem that did not begin with Trump, but is a problem nonetheless." -- @mattduss
As I've been saying:
https://t.co/X9B32xn6lm
Tehran is showing a more “reconciliatory tone” & openness to a deal, @NegarMortazavi tells @TheNewArab @GiorgioCafiero:
“We’re increasingly seeing Iran signaling that they’re open to talking with the United States, but particularly the next Trump admin."
Analysis: Iran hopes that the ceasefire in Lebanon won't unravel, even if multiple factors indicate a serious risk of that outcome.
