The Henry L. Stimson Center

 

Founded in 1989, the Henry L. Stimson Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan institution devoted to enhancing international peace and security through a unique combination of rigorous analysis and outreach.

 

The Stimson Center's work is focused on three priorities that are essential to global security:

• strengthening institutions for international peace and security
• building regional security, and
• reducing weapons of mass destruction and transnational threats

The Center’s approach is pragmatic — geared toward providing policy alternatives, solving problems, and overcoming obstacles to a more peaceful and secure world. Through in-depth research and analysis, we seek to understand and illuminate complex issues. By engaging policymakers, policy implementers, and nongovernmental institutions as well as other experts, we craft recommendations that are cross-partisan, actionable, and effective.
