Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft
The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is an American think tank specializing in foreign policy of the United States. Founded in 2019, the Quincy Institute has been described as advocating realism and restraint in foreign policy.
The organization is located in Washington, D.C., and is named after former US president John Quincy Adams.
The Quincy Institute was co-founded by Andrew Bacevich, a former US Army officer who fought in the Vietnam War and later became a professor of history at Boston University. Bacevich is the Emeritus Board Chair at the Quincy Institute and Stephen B. Heintz is the current Board Chair.
Initial funding for the group, launched in November 2019, included half a million dollars each from George Soros' Open Society Foundations and Charles Koch's Koch Foundation. Substantial funding has also come from the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Schumann Center for Media and Democracy. The institute distinguishes itself from many other think tanks in Washington, D.C. by refusing to accept money from foreign governments.
The think tank is named after US President John Quincy Adams who, as secretary of state, said in a speech on July 4, 1821, that the US "goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy." It has been described as "realist" and "promot[ing] an approach to the world based on diplomacy and restraint rather than threats, sanctions, and bombing."
David Klion wrote: "Quincy's founding members say again and again that 9/11 and the Iraq War were turning points in their careers."
The Quincy Institute states that it is a nonprofit research organization and think tank that hosts scholars, participates in debates, publishes analysis pieces by journalists and academics, and advocates for a "less militarized and more cooperative foreign policy". According to its statement of purpose, it is opposed to the military-industrial complex described by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address.
Co-founder Trita Parsi has described the Quincy Institute as "transpartisan", and, according to The Nation, has described the need for "an alliance of politicians on the left and right who agree on the need for restraint, even if they do so for different reasons". According to Bacevich, the purpose of the institute is to "promote restraint as a central principle of US foreign policy — fewer wars and more effective diplomatic engagement."
