NATO Expansion and the International Coalition In Europe

The International Coalition and Islam in Central Asia
The Institute's objective is to engage leading international practitioners on how countries with legacies of combating terrorism have attempted to address security threats, enhance our understanding of Islam in its many forms and advise American policymakers on practical approaches to the challenges now facing the U.S. The Institute attempts to bridge the gab between practitioners and policymakers on how to assess terrorist threats and craft practical policy responses.
Ballistic Missile Defense
On December 13, 2001 President Bush formally notified Russia that the United States would withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty within six months. For those who have seen the Treaty as an obstacle inhibiting the ability of the U.S. to defend itself against missile attack, this was a welcome step. On the other hand, many critics of missile defense voiced concern over the repercussions that withdrawal from the ABM Treaty could have for U.S.-Russian relations and the stability of nuclear security. The president's announcement indeed carried major implications for this enduring debate, but the case on missile defense is far from closed.
