About the Wilson Center
The Wilson Center occupies a unique place in US foreign policy—we are congressionally chartered, scholarship driven, and fiercely nonpartisan. It is our mission to help policymakers and stakeholders make sense of global developments. We are driven to offer the insights and analysis that can inform decision-making and forge a stronger America and more secure world.
Throughout 2023, the Wilson Center's scholarship-driven, nonpartisan analysis provided critical context to the world's most pressing challenges. With a focus on Ukraine's place in Europe, the Israel-Hamas war, and the state of democracy around the globe, Wilson Center staff, scholars, and its expansive community of multi-disciplinary experts responded to quickly moving world events to bring points of clarity.
