U.S. - MENA Relations
The Baghdad Center examines the evolving relationship between the United States and the Middle East and North Africa, with particular attention to diplomacy, security cooperation, economic ties, and regional stability. Our work analyzes how changing U.S. priorities interact with the interests of regional governments and how developments across MENA affect American strategic interests. By bringing regional perspectives into U.S. policy discussions, the Center seeks to contribute to more informed, practical, and sustainable engagement between the United States and the region.
