The Sage Institute.
We put trusted country expertise in the hands of the people shaping global decisions and public understanding.
When crises emerge or portfolios shift, those shaping policy and public understanding need to get up to speed — fast. We are creating a better and faster way for diplomats, journalists, analysts, and others to learn and monitor global developments.
Those in government and NGOs gain rapid, expert-curated country knowledge when navigating rotating portfolios or sudden global crises.
Journalists covering a new beat gain instant access to credible resources, freeing them to focus on what they do best: uncovering new information.
Students can independently learn global affairs, building the next generation of informed leaders.
Professionals operating across borders get the country context they need to make more informed, locally-aware decisions.
Our new web series premieres in late fall 2026.
Sage convenes country specialists in professional forums where they can learn from and support one another.
Founded in late 1992, Gulf/2000 is one of the world's most respected forums on the Gulf, Iraq, and Iran. Its membership includes 1,400+ diplomats, journalists, and experts who exchange views, pose questions, and seek insights from peers.
At Sage's core is a peer-vetted community of the world's most informed country specialists. These are the people other experts turn to. Their collective expertise is what powers everything Sage builds.
If I knew this existed, I definitely would start here. I don’t have a whole month to get up to speed. I have a day.
