Annual Report
Vision
The New Lines Institute envisions a world that fulfills its potential and in which people and nations can thrive. Our vision is inspired by a holistic view of the world, one that recognizes human interconnectedness and aims to achieve harmony and balance. We see a universal connection among people based on core principles regardless of race, color, religion, origin, ethnicity, or any other factor.
Mission & Purpose
Our mission is to provoke principled and transformative leadership based on peace and security, global communities, character, stewardship, and development. Our purpose is to shape U.S. foreign policy based on a deep understanding of regional geopolitics and the value systems of those regions.
Expertise
The New Lines Institute focuses on issues at the intersection of U.S. foreign policy and global geopolitics. We serve as a partner in navigating the world as it is and shaping the world as it should be. Our internal experts and external contributors provide context and direction that prioritizes human security and dignity. Unlike most think tanks, we have established an institutional method for research and analysis. Our innovative approach to policy assessments incorporates best practices from the fields of geopolitics, intelligence analysis, journalism, academia, and the private sector. This model enables us to provide rigorous analyses and strategic forecasts from which we distill policy solutions for our nation’s decision-makers. Our analytical methodology is reflected throughout all our publications. For more details, please refer to our submissions page.
Principles
Our work is guided by five core principles:
-
- Peace: the foundations on which we build prosperity and human fulfillment;
-
Development: the process by which we reach our potential as human beings and societies;
-
Community and Citizenship: a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves – be it global, national or local;
-
Character: the expectation that all leaders should make brave decisions in good faith and in a principled way;
-
Stewardship: a sense of responsibility and care toward all people and things that depend on us
