Center for the National Interest

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center for the National Interest is a political think tank in Washington, DC It publishes the bimonthly magazine The National Interest on topics of international politics and promotes the approach of the realistic school of political science . The President Dimitri K. Simes left the USA in 2018 for Russia.

The center was founded by former US President Richard Nixon on January 20, 1994 and was originally called the Nixon Center for Peace and Freedom . In 1998 the name was changed to The Nixon Center , and in March 2011 to The Center for the National Interest . In 2001, the institute acquired The National Interest magazine .

In 2005 the institute had problems, was offered support from Russia and lost its flagship products.

The center had around twenty employees in 2008, supporting six main programs: Energy Security and Climate Change, Strategic Studies, US-Russian Relations , US-Japanese Relations , China and the Pacific, and Regional Security (Middle East, Caspian Sea and South Asia). The annual budget for 2006 was $ 1.6 million. The Foreign Policy Research Institute's program for think tanks and civil societies ranked the institute among the 30 most important think tanks in the United States in 2007; in 2017 it was ranked 45th on the University of Pennsylvania’s rankings.

In 2013, Simes was "surprisingly" among the highly endowed participants in a panel discussion between the Waldai Club and Vladimir Putin, alongside Volker Rühe , François Fillon and Romano Prodi . As of 2014, the center has also been described as a promoter of pro-Russian views.
