The Nixon Center is a Washington, D.C.-based public policy think tank.
The Center was established by former U.S. President Richard Nixon on January 20, 1994 as the Nixon Center for Peace and Freedom.[1] The center has a staff of approximately a dozen people supporting six main programs: Energy Security and Climate Change Program, Strategic Studies, US-Russia Relations, Immigration and National Security Studies, China Studies, and Regional Strategies (Middle East, Caspian Basin and South Asia).[2] In 2006 it had an annual budget of $1.6 million.[3]. The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program of the Foreign Policy Research Institute ranked it as one of the top 30 think tanks in the United States in 2007.[4]
The group changed its name to the Nixon Center in 1998.
