Program

Russia and Eurasia

The Russia and Eurasia Program continues Carnegie’s long tradition of independent research on major political, societal, and security trends in and U.S. policy toward a region that has been upended by Russia’s war against Ukraine. Leaders regularly turn to our work for clear-eyed, relevant analyses on the region to inform their policy decisions.

Program

Democracy, Conflict, and Governance

The Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program is a leading source of independent policy research, writing, and outreach on global democracy, conflict, and governance. It analyzes and seeks to improve international efforts to reduce democratic backsliding, mitigate conflict and violence, overcome political polarization, promote gender equality, and advance pro-democratic uses of new technologies.

“The first decade of the 21st century has been difficult and often frustrating with respect to democracy and democracy promotion.” Thomas Carothers, vice president for studies, attributes high oil prices, Islamic extremism in some democratic countries and the success of the authoritarian model of economic and political development in China to the slow down in the spread of democracy. The Carnegie Moscow center held a round table discussion with Thomas Carothers to highlight these important factors and to discuss the state of democracy in the world and the Western effort to promote it.
