About the Middle East Initiative

Established in 1998, the Middle East Initiative (MEI) is Harvard University’s principal forum for policy-relevant research and teaching on the contemporary Middle East and North Africa. Chaired by Tarek Masoud, Ford Foundation Professor of Democracy and Governance, MEI convenes policymakers, scholars, and intellectuals from the region and beyond to expand our understanding of this complex part of the world and to contribute to the search for solutions to its most pressing policy challenges. Through the integration of scholarly research, policy analysis, executive and graduate education, and community engagement, MEI aims to advance public policy and build capacity in the Middle East to enhance the lives of all the region’s peoples.
