The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Conflict Tracker is a valuable tool that monitors and provides detailed information about ongoing conflicts around the world. Created as part of CFR’s Center for Preventive Action, it offers up-to-date analysis on global disputes, wars, and crises that could impact U.S. interests or international stability. The tracker covers conflicts ranging from political instability and civil wars to border disputes and acts of terrorism.
Key features of the CFR Conflict Tracker include:
- Interactive Map: Users can visually explore global conflict zones and see where tensions are high or where active conflicts are occurring.
- Detailed Profiles: Each conflict is accompanied by an in-depth profile that explains the root causes, involved parties, historical context, and potential consequences.
- Risk Assessments: The tracker evaluates the potential for conflicts to escalate or spread and assesses the risks they pose to U.S. security and global peace.
- Updates and Analysis: The tracker regularly updates on conflict developments, offering analysis by experts on potential resolutions, diplomatic actions, or military interventions.
This resource is widely used by policymakers, researchers, and the general public to stay informed on international conflict dynamics and the implications for foreign relations.
