Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft
The Quincy Institute aims to lead reconceptualization of U.S. foreign policy assumptions, and to do so in a way that serves both vital American interests and the broader shared interest in creating a more just and peaceful world. We believe that a foreign policy that emphasizes military restraint and diplomatic engagement and cooperation with other nations will serve American interests and values better than policies that prioritize the maintenance of U.S. global dominance through force.
