The Institute for Peace & Diplomacy (IPD) is a non-profit and non-partisan North American international affairs think tank. With operations in the United States and Canada, IPD is dedicated to promoting dialogue, diplomacy, prudent realism, and military restraint. These principles are seen as the four cornerstones of sustainable peace in an increasingly complex and dynamic international system.

In a world characterized by heightened international resistance to global hegemony and new great powers competing for influence, IPD aims to provide fresh perspectives and constructive ideas to resolve global security challenges. The institute achieves this by cultivating a network of experts, scholars, and practitioners who are ready to contribute to statecraft and foreign policy. IPD bridges the gap between theory and practice in North Atlantic foreign policy, emphasizing the recognition of the sovereignty and equality of all nations and cultures.

Through its publications, conferences, policy briefings, and recommendations, IPD encourages policymakers, government leaders, civil society, and the business community to adopt a more restrained and open-minded approach in managing the strategic challenges and geopolitical risks of the 21st century. With a team of over 30 leading experts and a diverse Advisory Board, IPD provides the highest quality research, policy recommendations, and analysis in its core research programs. At IPD, the pursuit of sustainable peace and effective diplomacy is the key to navigating an evolving global landscape
