What is
the Quincy Institute?

The Quincy Institute promotes ideas that move U.S. foreign policy away from endless war, toward military restraint and diplomacy in the pursuit of international peace. We are building a world where peace is the norm and war is the exception.

Quincy Spotlight

Research at the Quincy Institute

As a research institution, we expose the dangerous consequences of an overly militarized American foreign policy and present an alternative approach, centered on diplomacy and military restraint.

Our Research

Our cutting-edge research spans across six geographic and thematic teams and forms the basis for our advocacy and outreach.

Democratizing Foreign Policy

U.S. foreign policy should serve the interests of the American people and not those of special interests.

East Asia

We develop concepts and pathways for the U.S. to pursue a stable balance of power in the region.

Eurasia

U.S. policies that promote international peace and cooperation in Europe and Eurasia will avoid costly new U.S. military commitments.

Global South

The rise of power and agency of the Global South requires a new approach by the United States.

Grand Strategy

For decades, the United States’ pursuit of military dominance across the globe has delivered neither peace nor strength.

Middle East

We work to avoid new military entanglements in the Middle East, the center of American military overreach for decades.

Events & Webinars

The Quincy Institute hosts frequent debates, panel discussions, book talks, and other events virtually and in person that challenge the status quo, amplify underrepresented perspectives, and propose bold solutions. These are the conversations you will find beyond cable news or on the front pages of the newspaper.

Experts in the Media

Quincy Institute experts are frequently called upon to offer their analysis on breaking foreign policy news. Our trusted perspective on restraint in foreign policy is a critical contribution to the national conversation.

Other Key Topics

Help us achieve a world where peace is the norm and war the exception.

The Quincy Institute is a transpartisan “action tank” and communications project, established to challenge the decades-long obsession of U.S. foreign policy decision makers with global military dominance and war.
