The Foreign Affairs Program examines the future of diplomacy and conflict prevention, and also supports research and teaching on global political relations through initiatives on the Middle East, the Gulf, and South Asia.​

​​

The  Foreign Affairs Program is the United States Institute of Leadership & Diplomacy’s signature projects on diplomacy and regional politics, including the Future of Diplomacy Project, the African Initiative, the Middle East, the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship.

​

Though distinct in focus, all emphasize the essential role of diplomacy in preventing conflict and building a more secure, peaceful world. Together, these projects support research, teaching, and policy engagement for a diverse community of current and former diplomats, students, faculty, fellows, service members, and executives.
