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.

Spoke with @thenation about what Trump’s return could mean for Iran policy👇
With a key UN sanctions deadline approaching, the Iran nuclear crisis is set to be one of his first major foreign policy battles.
Don’t miss Bob Dreyfuss's insightful piece:
More likely, things will unravel quickly, with war on the horizon.
I told @Newsweek: “Tehran seems to be sending two messages: that they are ready to talk and make a deal with Trump, but also that they are strong and prepared to defend themselves against military strikes."
Great report by @AmirDaftari

internationalpolicy.orgFor decades, US presidents failed on Iran—missing opportunities, fueling conflict & losing economic gains.
But Trump can break the cycle with a legacy-defining deal that makes America safer, richer & avoids a disastrous war.
🧵I explain how in @amconmag:
The president will find Tehran more amenable than ever if he tries to drive a bargain.
Shuttering USAID by executive fiat is illegal and unconstitutional, yet Republican lawmakers are just letting Trump grab their power for himself.
The precedent it sets is nothing less than the neutering of Congress as a coequal branch of government—in other words, dictatorship.
Thanks to @ForeignPolicy for publishing an excerpt from “The Rivalry Peril.” This is from our fourth chapter where we cover the ways great-power competition worsens economic inequality. Check it out, then buy the whole book. @RealVanJackson.
Fighting with China won’t bring jobs home.
