The Quincy Institute For Responsible Statecraft is a foreign policy think tank that promotes non-interventionism. Critical of the United States’ foreign policy establishment for its insistence on military deployment, the organization seeks to advocate for “diplomatic engagement and military restraint” by appealing to both conservative and progressive policy makers. ^[1]
