General Regional Security

In the globalized world of the 21st century, events half way across the world can have a major impact on America’s national security. In order to understand the broader international security environment, CNP focuses on several volatile regions that can serve as flashpoints for security crises. By studying these regions in-depth, CNP helps to inform policy makers of plans that better react to—and hopefully prevent—crises in these areas.
