Brookings's mission is to conduct high-quality independent research and, based on that research, to advance innovative, practical recommendations that advance three broad goals strengthen American democracy, foster the economic and social welfare,
security and opportunity of all Americans, and secure a more open, safe, prosperous and cooperative international system.

The Foreign Policy Program’s research helps stakeholders and the public address the great challenges facing the United States and the international
community in the 21st Century. The aim is to support America’s foreign and national security policies, inform the public policy debate, and support the
emerging international order in favor of peace, security, and human progress. In the past year, Foreign Policy experts both in Washington and in our
overseas centers in Beijing, Doha, and New Delhi examined a range of topics including the rapidly changing developments throughout the Arab world,
the Eurozone Crisis, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, arms control and nuclear non-proliferation, energy security, military technology, Iran, India, Syria,
Libya, the evolving transatlantic relationships, humanitarian aid, and the changing global role of China.
The Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) fosters dialogue on the changes in Europe and the global challenges that affect transatlantic relations. The Center offers independent research and recommendations, and it convenes seminars and public forums on policy-relevant issues. CUSE’s research program focuses on three key areas: the transformation of the European Union; strategies for engaging the countries and regions beyond the frontiers of the EU including the Balkans, Caucasus, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine; and European security issues such as the future of NATO, forging common strategies on energy security and transatlantic counter-terrorism coordination. The Center also houses Brookings's specific programs on France, Italy, and Turkey. For more information on the activities of CUSE.Address
