Date

Duration
0 months
Description
There is critical need for forward-looking and non-partisan analysis to translate lessons from the past 25 years into strategies for emerging technological and terrorist threats. Founded in 2017, The Soufan Center (TSC) is an independent nonprofit that provides research and strategic analysis to counter urgent global security challenges. Carnegie’s support will enable the 2026 Global Summit on Terrorism & Political Violence in New York City, a high-level conference of senior policymakers and intelligence leaders with approximately 500 participants. In parallel, TSC will produce a flagship edited research volume and a post-summit report to provide a lasting policy resource for practitioners at a time when conflict and violence are on the rise. These efforts aim to shift counterterrorism and political violence from reactive to anticipatory approaches, strengthening international and domestic security cooperation.
