Abstract
The article examines the activitiy of the «Project for a New American Century» (PNAC), one of the main think tanks that formed the foreign policy of US President George W. Bush. The "Project" was formed by publicists - W. Kristol and R. Kagan in 1997 and became the mouthpiece of the American neo-conservative elite. An analysis of the documents of the PNAC which are in the public domain, is carried out in order to identify the positions of the analytical center on the main issues of US foreign policy during the presidency of B. Clinton and George W. Bush. It is concluded that within the framework of the "Project" were comprehended and formulated most of the foreign policy initiatives implemented by Washington in the first half of the 2000s of the 21st century.
