The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan
membership organization, think tank, and publisher dedicated to being a
resource for its members, government officials, business executives,
journalists, educators and students, civic and religious leaders, and other
interested citizens in order to help them better understand the world and the
foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries. Founded in
1921, CFR carries out its mission by maintaining a diverse membership, with
special programs to promote interest and develop expertise in the next
generation of foreign policy leaders; convening meetings at its headquarters in
New York and in Washington, DC, and other cities where senior government
officials, members of Congress, global leaders, and prominent thinkers come
together with CFR members to discuss and debate major international issues;
supporting a Studies Program that fosters independent research, enabling CFR
scholars to produce articles, reports, and books and hold roundtables that
analyze foreign policy issues and make concrete policy recommendations;
publishing Foreign Affairs, the preeminent journal on international affairs and
U.S. foreign policy; sponsoring Independent Task Forces that produce reports
with both findings and policy prescriptions on the most important foreign
policy topics; and providing up-to-date information and analysis about world
events and American foreign policy on its website, CFR.org.
