The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan public policy research institute dedicated to the study of Central and Eastern Europe. Founded in 2005, CEPA provides a forum for scholarly research, writing and debate on key issues affecting the countries and economies of the Central and Eastern European region, their membership in the European Union (EU) and relationship with the United States.
CEPA has developed a highly effective programming format that allows the organization to engage a unique audience of government, industry and issue specialists on both sides of the Atlantic. By combining sustained analytical attention and senior peer community-endorsed recommendations, CEPA programs have decisively transformed U.S. and European policy thinking. In this way, the organization’s cutting-edge research and program events have made high-value contributions to the debate on energy security, regional economics and geopolitics.

Famous quotes containing the words center, european, policy and/or analysis:
“I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“God grant we may not have a European war thrust upon us, and for such a stupid reason too, no I don’t mean stupid, but to have to go to war on account of tiresome Servia beggars belief.”
—Mary (1867–1953)
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“Analysis as an instrument of enlightenment and civilization is good, in so far as it shatters absurd convictions, acts as a solvent upon natural prejudices, and undermines authority; good, in other words, in that it sets free, refines, humanizes, makes slaves ripe for freedom. But it is bad, very bad, in so far as it stands in the way of action, cannot shape the vital forces, maims life at its roots. Analysis can be a very unappetizing affair, as much so as death.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
