An independent institute for the questions that don’t fit in one box.
Jus Statesman was founded in 2009 on a simple premise: the most consequential decisions in public life sit at the seam between foreign and domestic policy, and they deserve research that crosses it.
We answer to the evidence — and to no one else.
The institute takes no institutional positions. Our scholars follow the analysis where it leads, publish in full view, and disclose every source of funding. The point is not to win an argument, but to make the decision better.
Independent
No donor, party, or government directs our conclusions. Findings are owned by the authors who reach them.
Nonpartisan
We test ideas on their merits, across the spectrum, and resist the pull of any single political coalition.
Transparent
Methods, data, and funding are published alongside the work, so readers can judge it for themselves.
Funding & ethics
Where our support comes from
Jus Statesman is a nonpartisan, nonprofit research organization funded by foundations, individual donors, and a small endowment. We accept no funding that is conditioned on a predetermined finding or conclusion, and we retain full editorial control over everything we publish.
Every report discloses the funding behind it. Our complete donor list and annual financial statements are published each year, and our scholars file conflict-of-interest declarations that are available on request. If a piece of research touches a funder’s interests, we say so in the work itself.
