About the Program

The Energy and Geopolitics in the Middle East Program analyzes how the region’s vast energy resources, political dynamics, and economic transitions shape global markets and strategic stability. The program examines the interplay between energy production, regional power balances, and domestic reform efforts, as well as the implications these forces hold for the United States and the broader international community.

Through independent research and data-driven analysis, the program seeks to clarify unfolding developments, assess long-term risks, and provide actionable insights for policymakers and industry leaders. Its work focuses on key issues such as energy security, market volatility, investment trends, and the region’s evolving role in a changing global energy system.
