FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE APHILADELPHIA VOICE ... ANATIONAL ASSET ... AGLOBAL RESOURCE THE YEAR IN REVIEW AND THE 2004 ANNUAL DINNER MISSION Founded in 1955, FPRI is devoted to bringing the insights of scholarship to bear on the development of policies that advance U.S. national interests. And we add perspective to events by fitting them into the larger historical and cultural context of international politics. WHO WE ARE The scholars of FPRI include a former aide to three U.S. secretaries of state, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, a former president of Swarthmore College (and a Bancroft Prize-winning historian), and a former staff member of the National Security Council. We count among our trustees a former Secretary of State, a former Undersecretary of Defense, and a former Secretary of the Navy, not to mention two university presidents emeritus, a foundation president, and several active or retired corporate CEOS. And we count among our extended network of scholars — especially, our Inter-University Study Groups — representatives of diverse disciplines, including political science, history, economics, law, management, religion, sociology, and psychology. WHAT WE DO We conduct research on pressing issues — the war on terrorism, conflicts in the Middle East, relations with China, Russia, and Japan — and we cover long-term questions, such as the roles of religion and ethnicity in international politics, or the nature of Western identity and its implications for the U.S. and the Atlantic Alliance. We publish a quarterly journal, Orbis, and a series of bulletins, both of which draw on the research findings of our scholars, our Inter-University Study Groups, our conferences, and our seminars. And, through our Marvin Wachman Fund for International Education, we educate the public and “teach the teachers.” In this way, we serve the community and the nation, the policymakers and the educators, Wall Street and Main Street. A VAST REACH Each week, FPRI transmits by email a succinct analysis of some critical international issue. These bulletins are emailed to some 25,000 key people in 85 countries directly, and reach thousands more indirectly by postings on the Internet. Frequently, they are reprinted in or quoted by newspapers around the world. Our scholars are also invited to testify on Capitol Hill, comment on national radio and television, and consult informally with U.S. government officials. DOES IT MATTER? It matters to the policymaker, who lacks the time to give serious reflection to long-term trends that will shape America’s choices abroad; it matters to the media, who miss the expertise to make sense of complex developments in foreign lands; it matters to the educator, who needs informed preparation to teach the next generation (and it matters to the students, who represent the next generation of American leadership); and it matters to the public, whose children may be sent off to war and whose taxes will pay the bills. As FPRI founder Robert Strausz-Hupe once said, “a nation should think before it acts,” and that is where FPRI makes its mark. THE 2004 ANNUAL DINNER The Foreign Policy Research Institute has been one of the most effective organizations in America in addressing foreign policy concerns and the need to pursue wise and effective approaches to security and strengthening freedom. My real hope is that all of you here tonight will become members of the Foreign Policy Research Institute so that you can take advantage of the many programs and projects of FPRI. Your membership and your participation is the lifeblood of helping FPRI to advance enlightened solutions to addressing genuine and sustainable security in the world as a whole. John M.
