Ifri's work on the Americas region focuses mainly on the United States. Indeed, for more than 20 years, Ifri's United States program has provided keys to understanding American society and domestic policy while shedding light on developments in the country's foreign policy, including transatlantic relations and trade issues.
Since 2023, a specific axis on Latin America structures more actively Ifri's research on the region, particularly on energy policies but also on important democratic and geo-economic issues.
Ifri's Canada program was active in 2015 and 2016.
