United Prosperity Worldwide
United human prosperity, on Earth and beyond
Meridian is dedicated to positive international relations. We exist to promote and make cooperation the visible default of a species that intends to last forever, together, on this planet, and ultimately beyond.
What We Stand For
Three commitments that define our efforts
Positive international relations
Cooperation is the operating system of a lasting civilization. We work to make it visible, durable, and harder to dismiss as a pause between conflicts.
A united species
We work for united progress: shared scientific and technological gains that make our species stronger together, not as a set of isolated winners.
Earth and beyond
Earth is our origin and home, but we cannot stay confined to it forever. As we expand into space, we should do so together, united, for everyone.
The Database
Meridian Database
A public index of US–China economic and scientific cooperation, the relationship that most shapes whether this century is shared or split.
US–China Cooperation Indexes
The reality of collaboration, recorded in public
Partnerships, joint research, and institutional ties continue beneath the conflict narrative. The Database makes that record searchable, ranked, and available to anyone who wants to see it.
Open the DatabaseWhy this relationship first
We started with analyzing positive US–China cooperation, but is not the whole of international relations. It is the load-bearing joint. How the world's two largest scientific and industrial systems treat each other will decide more of the human future than almost any other pairing.
That is why we started with US–China cooperation. Meridian itself is not solely a US–China project. We care about the world as a whole.
