Foreign Policy In Focus

FPIF, a "think tank without walls," functions as an international network of more than 700 analysts and advocates. Unlike traditional think tanks, FPIF is committed to advancing a citizen-based foreign policy agenda through its articles, strategic debates, analysis and the intersection of foreign policy and culture that address globalization, economics, multilateralism, peace and security. FPIF is a collaborative project of the International Relations Center (IRC) and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).
