Founded in 1982, AFPC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing primary source information and policy options to those who make or influence the national security and foreign policy of the United States, facilitating dialogue between American statesmen and their counterparts in other countries, and fostering the acceptance and development of representative institutions, civil societies, and free market economies throughout the world. AFPC is widely recognized as a source of timely, insightful analysis on issues of foreign policy, and works closely with members of Congress, the Executive Branch and the policymaking community.
