Our Mission
The Middle East Policy Council is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 1981 to expand public debate on the political and economic issues of the region and the policies devised to further American interests there. The Council is an independent, non-membership entity favoring neither right nor left and having no loyalties to any country but the United States.
Our mission is to provide policymakers and the public with credible, comprehensive information and analysis on political, economic, and cultural issues pertaining to U.S.-Middle East. Our goal is to foster more effective policy solutions to current and future challenges.
