The Washington Institute for Near East Policy is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank focused on American interests in the Middle East. Based in Washington, D.C., it aims to foster a balanced, realistic understanding of those interests and to inform policy decisions with careful analysis. Its work reaches policymakers through personal briefings, published reports, videos, and media appearances, drawing on experts who originate from across the region and have experience in multiple branches of government. For more than thirty years, the institute has been a prominent participant in Washington’s policy dialogue on the Middle East, seeking to inform decisions, shape the agenda, and improve U.S. policy in the region. Its audience includes government officials, military personnel, academics, journalists, and other leaders worldwide who consult the institute’s expertise on critical Middle East issues. Positioned within the think-tank sector, the Washington Institute emphasizes providing context and analysis to advance American interests in the region. A 2024 development notes the introduction of the Center for the Seven Seas, representing an expansion of the institute’s programmatic offerings.
