Ax:son Johnson Institute for Statecraft and Diplomacy (AJI)

The Ax:son Johnson Institute for Statecraft and Diplomacy’s (AJI) mission is to foster historically informed statecraft and diplomacy. AJI conducts rigorous empirically based research focusing on description, explanation, and interpretation. We believe that applying the lessons of history is fundamental in preserving stable, prosperous, and open democratic societies.

AJI is a consortium formed by the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation for Public Benefit and four research centres at leading universities: the Centre for Statecraft and National Security (CSNS), the Centre for Geopolitics at the University of Cambridge, the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington D.C.,  and the Center for Statecraft and Strategic Communication at the Stockholm School of Economics.
