- Progressive Policy Institute
The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) is a think tank in the United States, founded in 1989 and affiliated with the Democratic Leadership Council, which styles itself as promoting the ideas of "New Democrats." It covers a very wide range of issues and describes itself as centrist, although progressive critics frequently describe it as conservative, neoconservative, or neoliberal. Its current president is Will Marshall, who writes frequently on foreign policy, defense, national service, globalization and trade policy, and cultural issues. Notable affiliated scholars include Fred Siegel (cultural issues), Paul Weinstein (economics and fiscal policies), Robert J. Shapiro (economics and securities law), Jan Mazurek (energy and environmental protection), Edward Gresser (trade), David Kendall (health care), Michele Stockwell (education and social issues).
