Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft: A prominent Washington, D.C.-based non-profit research institute and think tank, the Quincy Institute is dedicated to promoting a less militaristic and more cooperative US foreign policy, advocating for military restraint and diplomacy in pursuit of international peace. Its main areas of focus include research and analysis on international relations, with specific programmes on regions like East Asia and the Middle East, and democratising foreign policy. The institute, notable for refusing foreign government funding, aims to challenge foreign policy orthodoxy and foster a world where peace is the norm.
