about the center
The Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center draws on regional experts to provide in-depth analysis of political, socioeconomic, and security issues in the Middle East and North Africa. Founded in 2006, the Beirut-based center delivers on-the-ground research of the region’s challenges, examines long-term geopolitical trends, and proposes innovative policy options. As freedom of expression has become increasingly restricted in the wider Middle East, the center also creates a space for people across the region to convene and share diverse perspectives. The center works closely with the Middle East Program headquartered in Washington, DC.

Understanding Conflict in Border Regions
In Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, conflict and instability endure in contested border regions where local tensions connect with regional and global dynamics. The Asia Foundation, the Rift Valley Institute, and the Carnegie Middle East Center are working together to better understand the causes and impacts of conflict in these border areas and their international dimensions, support more effective policymaking and development programming, and build the capacity of their local partners to leverage research to advocate for peaceful change.
Syria in a New Era
After 54 years of Assad family rule, Syria has entered a new chapter in its history with the downfall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Nearly fourteen years after the start of the Syrian uprising in March 2011, this regime change has also had a profound impact on regional and international geopolitical dynamics. Carnegie scholars, building on years of research and analysis, will engage in a detailed exploration of Syria’s transition, specifically with regard to politics, security, and the economy. Our work will also examine how the country navigates its complex ethnic and sectarian landscape and adapts to shifts in the regional balance of power.
