  • June 26, 2026, Garut, West Java, Indonesia: Field staff inspect the Kamojang geothermal facility in Garut, West Java, on June 26, 2026. This oldest geothermal field continues to play a key role as one of the nation’s main sources of clean energy. Managed by PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE), the facility—with an installed capacity of 235 megawatts (MW)—supplies electricity to the Java-Madura-Bali grid while supporting Indonesia’s energy transition and emissions reduction targets.

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.
