About Us

The International Security program aims to provide evidence-based analysis of some of the toughest security challenges facing American policymakers and the public. Our research has addressed homegrown American terrorism, the development and nature of ISIS’ networks in the West, the United States’ drone wars abroad, the collapse of the American monopoly on armed drones and the proliferation of drones around the world, and the profound changes in warfare wrought by new technology and societal changes. The program also examines regional security issues, with a particular focus on the Middle East and South Asia.

The program is directed by Peter Bergen, and staffed by David Sterman, a Senior Policy Analyst.
