The Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) (2009–2017) was a now-defunct, Washington, D.C.-based American right-wing, neoconservative think tank and nonprofit organization founded in 2009 by prominent neoconservative figures including William Kristol, Robert Kagan, and Dan Senor. It emerged as a successor to the Project for the New American Century and aimed to promote an assertive U.S. foreign policy, robust global leadership, and opposition to isolationism, advocating for a strong U.S. role in international affairs. The organization advocated for militaristic approaches, particularly in the Middle East and other global hotspots, through policy papers, events, and public advocacy to influence U.S. decision-makers. FPI was led by Executive Director Christopher J. Griffin, with a Board of Directors comprising Ambassador Eric Edelman, Robert Kagan, William Kristol, and Dan Senor. It received substantial seed funding from New York-based financier Paul Singer and other benefactors, operating as a non-profit, non-partisan entity focused on foreign policy issues. The think tank produced reports and commentaries criticizing perceived U.S. retrenchment under administrations like Obama's, pushing for increased military engagement and support for allies. By 2017, FPI ceased operations, possibly due to shifting political landscapes or funding challenges, marking the end of a key neoconservative voice in Washington policy circles, though its founders continued influencing discourse through other channels.
