About Us
Empowering Youth
in International Affairs
The Stratagem Initiative is a student-led think tank cultivating and empowering the next generation of global-minded leaders. Founded in 2024 by Georgetown University undergraduates and rooted in Washington, D.C., we bring together multidisciplinary perspectives, fostering authentic learning, open debate, and creative thinking.
At Stratagem, we don't just study international issues — we turn our ideas into teams and products that make an impact. Our teams are dedicated to producing high-quality products that uplift our community and prepare our students for mission-driven careers in international affairs.
Through our newsletter, Stratagem breaks down the international events defining today's world for over a thousand subscribers around the globe.
