In their own words

“As a research institution we expose the dangerous consequences of an overly militarized American foreign policy and present an alternative approach that promotes local ownership and resolution of local issues.”

“As an action-oriented think tank we serve as a resource for members of Congress, grassroots organizations, and emerging leaders in Washington on both sides of the political aisle and across the country who are open to our vision and values. As a journalistic project our online magazine Responsible Statecraft publishes outside contributors and reporters as well as staff analysis, opinion, and news reportage to promote a positive, transpartisan vision of U.S. foreign policy and critique the ideologies and interests that have mired the United States in counterproductive and endless wars.”
