The Region
The ACLS mission is to help fill the gap in mutual understanding between the Middle East and the United States, using research and analysis as our primary tool. ACLS experts have designed this page as a reference hub for researchers, students, or just enthusiasts who want to learn more about the Middle East. Here readers can find the most notable news items, …as well as our periodic newsletter “The Region,” organized by country and month.
