Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
In a complex, changing, and increasingly contested world, the Carnegie Endowment generates strategic ideas and independent analysis, supports diplomacy, and trains the next generation of international scholar-practitioners to help countries and institutions take on the most difficult global problems and safeguard peace.
With a global network of more than 150 experts across twenty countries, Carnegie is renowned for its independent analysis of major global problems and understanding of regional contexts.
From its main office in Washington, DC, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace provides analysis on key topics and regions, including East and South Asia, Africa, Europe, Russia and Eurasia, the Middle East, democracy and governance, nuclear, sustainability and geopolitics, global institutions, technology, and subnational regions, such as California.
Leading scholars from across China connect with international policy experts and practitioners to research Beijing’s evolving approaches to economics, security, and global governance. China-focused programs support dialogue and collaboration among the next generation of Chinese and American leaders.
Established in 2007, Carnegie Europe continues to be a trusted source on European foreign and security policy. Through its diverse network of international scholars, Carnegie Europe provides independent and relevant research and recommendations on a wide range of thematic areas at the core of international and European affairs including decoding the integration path of the European Union, European democratic reform, the domestic and global challenges of climate change policy, Europe’s international relationships, and the potential regeneration of transatlantic relations.

Post–Cold War assumptions about democracy’s progress have been upended. As democracies and nondemocracies alike struggle to meet the expectations of their citizens, the world needs new ideas and approaches to governance and international assistance. Together with governments and civil society around the globe, Carnegie works to update and strengthen state-society compacts and strategies for international engagement.
The world faces an escalating set of threats that transcend borders, requiring global coordination and solutions. Whether that means responding to climate change, disputes in the global commons, the rising agency of subnational regions, or nuclear deterrence and nonproliferation, Carnegie looks at challenges through a global lens and offers tangible solutions to resolve the most pressing cross-border issues.
Across all regions, technological innovation is reshaping every aspect of life—and every aspect of international affairs. Carnegie’s interdisciplinary expertise, proven experience in developing international norms, and presence in regions at the forefront of technological innovation mean it is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between researchers, industry, and government in critical areas: digital transformation and governance of the cloud, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and the information environment.
