Alan Isenberg is the anchor producer of CNN's The Situation Room, a daily show hosted by Wolf Blitzer on politics and international affairs. He was a fellow at CISAC from 2004-2005 and an affiliated scholar at CDDRL from 2002-2005. During his fellowship, he examined the sufficiency of the present institutional and legal frameworks dealing with nuclear nonproliferation, and explored ways to modernize these frameworks in accordance with today's security threats. In this context, he focused especially on the future of the U.S.-Iran strategic relationship. He came to Stanford in 2002 from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC, where he was on staff in the International Security Program and focused his research on the transatlantic defense relationship and nuclear nonproliferation. He represented FSI and Stanford Law School on the Stanford International Law steering committee.

Isenberg wrote for Newsweek's domestic and international editions from 2005-2006. He was a contributing editor of the world affairs journal Orbis from July 2002 to January 2005, and has published widely in American and international newspapers, including the Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal Europe, and the International Herald Tribune. He serves as a nonresident senior advisor to the Institute for Strategic Studies in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Isenberg holds a BA in diplomatic history (magna cum laude) from the University of Pennsylvania, and a JD from Stanford Law School, where he served as senior articles editor for the Stanford Journal of International Law.
