Jamestowns Mission

The Jamestown Foundations mission is to inform and educate policymakers and the broader policy community about events and trends in those societies which are strategically or tactically important to the United States and which frequently restrict access to such information. Utilizing indigenous and primary sources, Jamestowns material is delivered without political bias, filter or agenda. It is often the only source of information which should be, but is not always, available through official or intelligence channels, especially in regard to Eurasia and terrorism.

Origins

Launched in 1984 by its founder William Geimer, The Jamestown Foundation has emerged as one of the leading providers of research and analysis on conflict and instability in Eurasia. The Jamestown Foundation has rapidly grown to become one of the leading sources of information on Eurasia, developing a global network of analytical expertise from the Baltic to the Horn of Africa. This core of intellectual talent includes former high-ranking government officials, journalists, research analysts, scholars and economists. Their insight contributes significantly to helping policymakers around the world understand the emerging trends and developments in many of the worlds under-reported conflict zones in Eurasia.

We are continentalists. Now guided missiles are well developed. Installed on shore, they can hit any target, and there is no need to build a big navy.

- Vice Premier Zhang Chunqiao addressing the Central Military Commission (1972)

Whatever the enemy fears most, that is what we should develop.

- President Jiang Zemin as quoted by General Zhang Wannian (1999)

When many carrier-borne aircraft are used in continuous air strikes against our coast, in order to halt the powerful air raids, the enemys core carrier should be struck as with a heavy hammer.

- Science of Second Artillery Campaigns (2004)

Since the introduction of nuclear weapons, all the major nuclear powers have developed ballistic missile warning systems against possible nuclear attacks, and there has not been a single precedent of a major nuclear power attacking another with ballistic missiles.

- Huo Fei and Luo Shiwei, Modern Ships (2008)

The queen of the American fleet, and the centerpiece of the most powerful Navy the world has ever seen, the aircraft carrier, is in danger of becoming like the battleships it was originally designed to support: big, expensive, vulnerableand surprisingly irrelevant to the conflicts of the time.

- Captain Henry J. Hendrix, U.S. Navy (2013)
