Mounting security challenges have raised concerns about how the United States can best promote political reform while safeguarding its security interests. Co-chaired by Larry Diamond and Francis Fukuyama, the Study Group addresses this complex problem through a series of meetings that highlight the interplay of security and reform in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.
Mounting security challenges have raised concerns about how the United States can best promote political reform while safeguarding its security interests. Co-chaired by Larry Diamond and Francis Fukuyama, the Study Group is addressing this complex problem through a series of meetings that highlight the interplay of security and reform in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.
USIP's Study Group on Reform and Security in the Muslim World began to convene in February 2008 to develop a policy-relevant vision of how the United States can sustain and reassert its support for political reform in the Muslim world, while enhancing its security at home and abroad. Co-chaired by Larry Diamond and Francis Fukuyama, two of the leading experts on the regional and global security environment, the Study Group's findings were published in January 2010.

Daniel Brumberg [8], acting director of USIP's Muslim World Initiative [9] and associate professor in Georgetown University's Department of Government, directs the Study Group's activities.
