The Ashburn Institute (A.I.) is an organization dedicated to uniting democratic nations.
We envision increased cooperation between all the peoples of the world that will ultimately lead to greater peace, more freedom, and the eventual integration of democratic nations. It is our belief that greater cooperation and federation will create an environment in which fledgling democracies will thrive and non-democracies will seek democracy.
We believe that a federation of democracies is the most effective means to address the common problems of all peoples. In order to realize this vision, the Ashburn Institute endeavors to:
- Illuminate the benefits offered by a future federation of democracies;
- Educate individuals and governments in the principles, processes and structures of democratic institutions;
- Propagate the concept of federation among all the democratic nations of the world;
- Create venues for dialogue and discussion that will strengthen democratic institutions;
- Conduct research that will identify and disseminate effective models of democratic development;
- Stimulate the exchange of ideas whereby individuals and nations may explore various democratic structures; and
- Support legislative and other initiatives that promote the integration of democratic nations, greater Euro-Atlantic cooperation, and the development of regional democratic organizations.
