Muslim World Initiative Logo

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.

 The Pivotal States Project was a series of books focusing on key or "pivotal" states in the Muslim world: Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. By virtue of their influence in regional political, economic, and cultural networks, these states play a critical role not only in the resolution of conflicts in their immediate vicinity, but also in moderating relations between the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds.
