The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) provides a wide array of opportunities for our supporters to have a meaningful impact on national security and defense-related policy, including educating the next generation of national security leaders.
At CNAS, we develop strong, pragmatic and principled national security and defense policies. Our priorities include programs and projects that address regional security concerns - the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, challenges in Iran and Pakistan, and U.S. national security interests in Asia. We also focus on U.S. national security policies, U.S. military forces and operations, and transnational security challenges such as the new field of natural security that explores the implications of natural resource demands, energy dependence, and climate change.
In addition to our research, we continue programs that foster dialogue, link people and ideas, and cultivate the next generation of national security leaders.
