Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft

The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is a U.S. think tank founded in 2019 and located in Washington, D.C.

History

Initial funding for the group, launched in November 2019,[1] includes half a million dollars each from the Open Society Foundation (George Soros) and the Koch Foundation (Charles Koch).[2][3][4]

The think tank is named after U.S. President John Quincy Adams, who as Secretary of State said, in a speech on July 4, 1821, that the U.S. "goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy".[5] It has been described as realist in orientation.[6] Conservative publications such as The Washington Free Beacon have criticized the think tank for its stance and speakers on China.[7][8]

David Klion writes: "Quincy's founding members say again and again that 9/11 and the Iraq War were turning points in their careers."[9]
