On March 7 at 09.30AM EST, the Program on Extremism will launch a new project— The Global-Local Jihad Nexus: Islamic State and Al-Qaida Affiliates Monitor. This project draws on a global network of subject matter experts and locally-based researchers to monitor Islamic State and al-Qaida affiliates across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, as well as their support and enabling networks in the West. The project will regularly publish analysis through our new platform, Nexus.
