Greetings,

The Quincy Institute hasn’t formally launched yet but is already garnering a tremendous amount of attention.

Our focus in the past weeks has primarily been to raise funds, hire staff, build the non-resident fellowship program, and so forth.

But because of the buzz around QI, we have on occasion agreed to publish analyses and opinion pieces to provide Quincy’s perspective. I would like to bring your attention to four articles in particular:

1. QI President Andrew Bacevich in the New York Times on what the US should and shouldn’t do in regards to the tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran: [link removed]
2. QI’s Stephen Wertheim in the New York Times on how to end endless war: [link removed]
3. QI’s Stephen Wertheim in the Washington Post on why QI’s opposition to endless wars has been controversial, but shouldn’t be: [link removed]
4. My article in Foreign Affairs last week on what it will take to deescalate US-Iran tensions: [link removed]

There are also a few TV/Radio/Podcast appearances you might find of interest:

1. Andrew Bacevich appeared on WGBH Boston to discuss an Afghanistan withdrawal: [link removed].
2. Stephen Wertheim appeared on Cato's Daily Podcast ([link removed]) as well as on CSPAN ([link removed]) to discuss Quincy.
3. Suzanne DiMaggio was on Ploughshares' Podcast, Press the Button ([link removed]) .
4. I was on NPR’s Morning Edition ([link removed]) last week to discuss tensions in the Persian Gulf.

This is just a preview of the high-level impact QI will have once it fully launches in late November.

In advance of the launch, please follow QI’s Twitter feed to keep abreast of our public writings: [link removed].

Sincerely,

Trita Parsi
Executive Vice President
