North Africa, Mediterranean, and the Sahel Program

North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Sahel sit at the intersection of political transitions, economic transformation, and transnational security pressures, with developments in these regions influencing energy markets, migration flows, maritime security, and great-power competition, yet they remain unevenly represented in international policy conversations.

The Stimson Center’s North Africa, Mediterranean, and the Sahel program is dedicated to elevating these interconnected regions by delivering timely, policy-relevant analysis on political economies, internal dynamics, and cross-regional relations, with a focus on how developments across these spaces increasingly shape global affairs.
