The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace announced a $2 million grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for its Cyber Policy Initiative.
WASHINGTON – The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace announced a $2 million grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for its Cyber Policy Initiative.
This two-year grant, for which Carnegie is committed to raising matching funds, will help sustain and strengthen Carnegie’s efforts to bridge the gap between the pace of technological innovation and the global policy response. Leveraging Carnegie’s independent, global network, the Cyber Policy Initiative facilitates international cooperation to develop strategies, policies, and norms to achieve greater stability and civility in cyberspace. Much of this work seeks to mobilize market forces to motivate suppliers and users of technology to adopt cybersecurity best practices, recognizing the challenges that governments face in managing such rapidly evolving technology.
“The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is already a go-to source for governments and industry alike for pragmatic policy solutions to the world’s most destabilizing cyber threats,” said Hewlett Foundation President Larry Kramer. “We’re delighted to support their growth and expansion, and eager to see how they put our grant funds to use for the benefit of societies around the world.”
“Weak rules and norms in cyberspace put global peace and prosperity at enormous risk. As cyber attacks grow more frequent and serious, it is becoming clear that governments and the private sector cannot tame cyberspace on their own,” said Carnegie Endowment President William J. Burns. “The Hewlett Foundation has been a terrific partner in our efforts to address this important policy challenge. I am deeply grateful for the foundation’s continued, generous support, and look forward to the opportunity to work closely with other equally fortunate grantees.”
The Cyber Policy Initiative, part of Carnegie’s Technology and International Affairs Program, is a global endeavor composed of experts with deep scholarly expertise and extensive practical experience in law, diplomacy, military, national security policy, and the private sector.

The war in Iran proves the United States is now a destabilizing actor for Europe and the Arab Gulf. From protect their economies and energy supplies to safeguarding their territorial integrity, both regions have much to gain from forming a new kind of partnership together.

The drone strike on the British air base in Akrotiri brings Europe’s proximity to the conflict in Iran into sharp relief. In the fog of war, old tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean risk being reignited, and regional stakeholders must avoid escalation.
Marc Pierini
European reactions to the war in Iran have lost sight of wider political dynamics. The EU must position itself for the next phase of the crisis without giving up on its principles.
Richard Youngs
Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.
Pierre Vimont
Over the past two decades, regional collaboration in the South Caucasus has intensified. Turkey and the EU should establish a cooperation framework to accelerate economic development and diversification.
