Center for Terrorism Research (CTR)
The Center for Terrorism Research (CTR) comprises
the core of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ research and
analysis on terrorist movements and ideologies. It is dedicated to
identifying effective strategies and techniques to combat these
threats. CTR uniquely combines academic and policy research, training
programs, strategic communications, and investigative journalism to
create cutting-edge analysis of what the U.S. military has dubbed the
“long war.” Center director Daveed Gartenstein-Ross leads a group of
experts with a range of knowledge and skills that afford us
unparalleled insights.
CTR research is focused on understanding terrorist ideologies, the
driving forces behind radicalization, the geopolitical circumstances in
which the long war is fought, and terrorists’ evolving strategies.
