The Political Theory Project (PTP) was an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The center has since transitioned into the university's Center for Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
The center's stated mission was to "investigate the ideas and institutions that make societies free, prosperous, and fair." From its establishment in 2003 until 2021, the Project was directed by founder John Tomasi. According to Tomasi, the PTP focuses "on the interplay of democratic and market-based ideals, with a commitment to examining issues from a variety of ideological perspectives." The Project is officially nonpartisan and maintains that it is not committed "to any particular ideological orientation."
