History
The institute was founded in 2008 by former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Randall Schriver and retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Mark Stokes.[2] Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage served as chairman until January 2020.[3]
The institute is strongly supportive of Taiwan, and has called for the full normalization of relations between the United States and Taiwan.[4][5][6]
In February 2020, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen received Project 2049 Institute chairman Randall Schriver at the Presidential Office in Taipei.[7][8]
In April 2025, the Project 2049 Institute officially changed its name to the Institute for Indo-Pacific Security "to reflect both the Indo-Pacific region’s growing complexity and Project 2049’s expanding research portfolio."[9]
