Brookings Doha Center

The Brookings Doha Center, a project of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, undertakes research on the socio-economic and geopolitical issues facing Muslim-majority states and communities, and encourages increased dialogue between policy makers from the U.S. and the Muslim world.

The Brookings Doha Center focuses on the socioeconomic and geopolitical issues facing Muslim-majority states and communities, including relations with the United States in three core areas: (i) Governance issues such as the analysis of constitutions, media laws, religion and society. (ii) Human development issues such as the analysis of government and non-governmental policy in the areas of education, health, environment, business and economics. (iii) International affairs such as the analysis of security frameworks in the Gulf, the war in Iraq, Israeli-Palestinian affairs, and other contemporary issues.

Research and programming is guided by the Brookings Doha Center International Advisory Council, chaired by H.E. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al-Thani and co-chaired by Brookings President Strobe Talbott. Advisors include: Madeleine Albright, Samuel Berger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Edward Djerejian, Vartan Gregorian, Wajahat Habibullah, Musa Hitam, Pervez Hoodbhoy, Rima Khalaf Hunaidi, Nemir Kirdar, Rami Khouri, Atta-ur- Rahman, Ismail Serageldin, Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Fareed Zakaria. Hady Amr, Fellow at the Saban Center and an expert on human development in the Arab world and U.S. relations with the Muslim world, serves as the Director of the Brookings Doha Center.
