An independent, nonpartisan research institution dedicated to rigorous analysis and pragmatic policy ideas for a more peaceful and prosperous world.
The Meridian Policy Group promotes ideas that move public policy away from reflexive escalation and costly overreach, toward diplomacy, restraint, and durable international institutions. We conduct original research, convene experts across ideological lines, and communicate findings to policymakers, the press, and the public.
We accept no funding that conditions our research agenda. Our conclusions follow the evidence, not our funders.
We convene scholars and practitioners across the political spectrum to challenge assumptions from every direction.
We measure ideas by their real-world consequences, not by their ideological purity.
We publish our funding sources and make our data and methods available for scrutiny.
Policy made without historical perspective is policy made without a meridian. We ground analysis in history.
Our work serves citizens and policymakers — not special interests.
