New Atlantic Initiative


The New Atlantic Initiative was an international nonpartisan organization dedicated to revitalizing and expanding the Atlantic community of democracies. NAI was based at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, DC-based think tank.

In 2005 NAI was shut down and merged into the "European Studies" program at AEI.
