CIPMO - Italian Center for Peace in the Middle East

This site is owned by CeSPI – Centre for Politics and International Studies and contains the wealth of studies, analyzes and activities accumulated by Cipmo over the course of its 30 years of activity. A heritage that we wanted to preserve and make available for consultation in a sort of virtual library. Following the liquidation of the Cipmo Association, in 2020, the contents of this site stop at that date.

CeSPI is an independent and non-profit think tank that carries out policy-oriented research and analysis, consultancy, evaluation and training on numerous relevant issues of international relations.
