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.

EVP @mattduss quoted in @JewishCurrents: “There is a danger to the idea that replacing Netanyahu will fix everything. It will not. It could create a grace period where bad things continue to happen but the US feels better about it. We need to oppose that”

CEO/President @NancyGEO at @MideastDC: "So the rise and activism that we're seeing in various spaces, like even in the art world, is significant. And that's why the problem with the US in the international community putting their bets on governments is a huge mistake...1/2

CEO/President @NancyGEO at @MideastDC: "The US approach to the region has a lot of problems. Overly transactional, overly militarized, and based on the premise of arms for peace, based on treating strongmen as reliable allies and partners."
