Even more than previous years, 2011 certainly confirmed the need for a broad view of the world in order to support political and economic decision-makers working under the pressure of events that are becoming more and more difficult to control. Such wide vision allows for analytical distance to be introduced into decision-making processes. As a unique think tank in France, and through the range of subjects it covers (international and otherwise), its long history of bringing experience and successful metho- dologies to light, and the networks it has built with partners throughout the world, Ifri seeks to promote this kind of perspective.

Our development strategy rests on our high quality programs, which cover an ever widening spectrum as can be seen in our past annual reports. We have made remarkable progress in developing our European expertise thanks to Ifri Brussels, located in the European capital. Geographically, our programs cover the European Union and the United States; Russia and the Newly Independent States that emerged from the fall of the USSR; Asia, particularly Japan, China, India and Korea; the African continent, notably North and Sub-Saharan Africa; and the Middle East, in particular Turkey and Iran. Our cross-cutting programs address classic yet fundamental issues such as security and the international economy, and are extending to areas such as energy geopolitics, demographics (notably migration) and space, as well as to new domains such as health, the environment and sport.
