The David Rockefeller Studies Program
The David Rockefeller Studies Program—CFR’s think tank—analyzes pressing global challenges and offers actionable steps that policymakers and citizens can take to address them. The more than eighty full-time and adjunct fellows in Studies cover all the world’s major regions and significant foreign policy issues.
Research is the lifeblood of a foreign policy think tank—grounding its analysis, informing its recommendations, and shaping debates that reach far beyond its walls.
