PSI…Defining Ideas for the Georgian Democracy

Partnership for Social Initiatives (PSI) was founded in Tbilisi, Georgia in January 2000 as an independent, nonpartisan think tank—research and educational organization dedicated to the study and advancement of public policy. Through its research, conferences, publications, and seminars, PSI advocates public policy based on the principles of virtuous citizenship, honor, dignity, and representative liberal democracy—just government, rule of law, individual liberty and responsibility, pursuit of happiness, and private enterprise.

PSI research takes place in five centers:

PSI is also actively involved with the Georgian Collegiate Consortium (GCC), an initiative dedicating to advancing reforms in Georgian higher education and developing a liberal arts curriculum at a Georgian university. GCC was founded jointly by PSI, the Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development (CIPDD) and the Institute for the Study of Western Though at Chavchavadze University.
