	Muslim World Initiative This initiative, which drew to a close in 2009, was designed to help to mobilize moderates, marginalize militants, and bridge the U.S./Muslim-world divide.
	Project on Conflict, Democracy and Security Led by Daniel Brumberg, senior adviser to the Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention, this project examines the conditions surrounding political reform in unstable and/or divided societies, aiming to provide a guide for peaceful and inclusive democratic transformation.
	Study Group on Arab-Israeli Peacemaking USIP has undertaken a major analytical study of Arab-Israeli peace negotiations since 1991, focusing on U.S. peacemaking strategies and initiatives. Its results are published in a book entitled Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace: American Leadership in the Middle East, authored by Ambassador Daniel C. Kurtzer and Scott B. Lasensky.
	The Arab Awakening As the dramatic events of the Arab Spring turn to the more mundane yet vital work of governance, constitution writing and peacebuilding, USIP is on the ground, bringing its unique brand of action and expertise to the effort.
