The
Foreign Policy Initiative (
FPI) was an American
think tank that operated from 2009 to 2017.
[1][2] According to its website, the FPI was "committed to robust support for democratic allies",
[3] human rights,
[4] a strong American military equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and strengthening America's global economic competitiveness. The organization was founded in 2009 and was led by Executive Christopher J. Griffin.
[5] FPI was a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Foreign Policy Initiative publishes numerous bulletins, fact sheets, and analysis on a variety of foreign policy related issues.
[6]
Academic scholars describe FPI as part of a "loose coalition of individuals that seeks to influence American foreign policy in ways that will benefit Israel."
[7]
FPI's Board of Directors consists of former
Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Eric S. Edelman,
Dan Senor, Editor of
The Weekly Standard William Kristol and
Brookings Institution Senior Fellow
Robert Kagan. The latter two were project directors of the neoconservative
Project for the New American Century.
