		The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) is a think tank in the United States, founded in 1989 and affiliated with the Democratic Leadership Council, which styles itself as promoting the ideas of "New Democrats." It covers a very wide range of issues and describes itself as centrist, although left-wing critics frequently describe it as neoliberal.
		Its current president is Will Marshall, who writes frequently on foreign policy, defense, national service, globalization and trade policy, and economic and cultural issues.
		Notable affiliated scholars include Steven J. Nider (defense and foreign policy), Fred Siegel (cultural issues), Paul Weinstein (economic and fiscal policy), Robert J. Shapiro (economics and securities law), Jan Mazurek (energy and environmental protection), Edward Gresser (trade), David Kendall (health care), Michele Stockwell (education and social issues).

	Economic Opportunity Institute - Minimum Wage
		We are focused on developing new public policies in Washington State to create ladders for low-income people to move into the middle class and to plug holes so that middle class families do not fall into poverty.
		So we look for public policy which 1) is incremental in nature but move toward universal benefits or has positive economic ramifications across income, race, and gender, and 2) can be embraced by a popular majority of the electorate.
		As a policy institute EOI shaped the political discussion for the minimum wage initiative and delegitimized the opponents’ arguments.

	International Relations Center \| Strategic Dialogue \| Toward a New Grand Strategy for U.S. Foreign Policy: Hawkish ...
		The Progressive Policy Institute, a think tank associated with the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), advocates a grand strategy of “progressive internationalism.” This “tough-minded” internationalism is portrayed as a “third way” that skirts the hazards of both the foreign policy positions of the right and the left.
		The institute strongly supported the invasion of Iraq “because the previous policy of containment was failing,” and Saddam Hussein’s government was “undermining both collective security and international law.”
		Similarly, progressive internationalism as a grand strategy takes the position of the party’s “liberal hawks,” like Sen. Joe Lieberman, who believe the Democratic Party is ill-served by those who criticize high military budgets and military interventions.

		It was one of the virtues of the early New Democrats that they recognized that all economic policy has a social and moral dimension and would be judged by the public on the basis of its social and moral attitudes.
