On June 20, 2006, the first annual Carnegie Foreign Policy Conference was held at the Carnegie Endowment under the theme of “Managing U.S. Dominance.” The conference was a gathering of 100 outstanding young professionals who will be responsible for adapting U.S. foreign policy to the future geopolitical environment. The Carnegie Endowment intends to host the conference each June for selected young professionals chosen through an application process.

Organized by Carnegie’s Junior Fellow class of 2005-2006, the conference included keynote speeches by Robert Gallucci, Dean of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, and Dr. Paul Pillar, former CIA National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia. Jessica T. Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment, opened the conference by welcoming this “group of individuals with an amazing richness of experience, across many sectors.”

During the day, breakout sessions engaged participants in an informative dialogue to generate ideas for confronting future challenges. Topics included democracy promotion, China’s rise, the effectiveness of intergovernmental organizations, U.S. energy policy, and the role of non-state actors, among others. These sessions were led by foreign policy scholars Michael McFaul (Carnegie Endowment), John Judis (Carnegie Endowment), David Bosco (Foreign Policy), Michael O’Hanlon (Brookings Institution), Nathan Brown (Carnegie Endowment), Steve Mufson (Washington Post), Tod Lindberg (Hoover Institution), and Michael Swaine (Carnegie Endowment).
