Moisés Naím, editor-in-chief of the award-winning Foreign Policy magazine, will rejoin the Carnegie Endowment. As a senior associate in Carnegie’s International Economics Program, Naím will analyze international economics and politics, trade and investment, multilateral organizations, economic reforms, and the economic, political, and cultural consequences of globalization.
WASHINGTON, April 2—Moisés Naím, editor-in-chief of the award-winning Foreign Policy magazine, will rejoin the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. As a senior associate in Carnegie’s International Economics Program, Naím will continue to analyze international economics and politics, trade and investment, multilateral organizations, economic reforms, and the economic, political, and cultural consequences of globalization.
Making the announcement, Jessica Mathews, president of the Endowment, said:
“We could not be more pleased to welcome back Moisés. When Carnegie sold Foreign Policy to the Washington Post Company in October 2008, it was a recognition of its tremendous growth under Moisés’ leadership. While building a prestigious, nationally recognized magazine, Moisés continued to lead the field in understanding how globalization shapes the world. Joining Uri Dadush and a team of experts around the world, Moisés will provide the fresh thinking that policy makers need to address the post-crisis global economy.”
Naím said:
“Coming back to the Carnegie Endowment is an exciting opportunity. Joining a truly global think tank whose scholars are driven to tackling some of the thorniest problems of our time is a great privilege.”
During Naím’s 14 years at Foreign Policy, he transformed the publication from an academically-oriented journal to an ambitious glossy magazine which has won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence in three out of the past six years. Additionally, ForeignPolicy.com has quickly established itself as the daily destination for people engaged with global ideas and now receives more than 1.2 million unique visitors a month.
Susan Glasser, who succeeds Naím as editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine, said:
“It couldn’t be more of an honor to succeed Moises. He is a true visionary who imagined a great magazine—and then went out and created it.”
Naím has served as editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy since 1996. Previously, he served as Venezuela's minister of trade and industry and played a central role in the initial launching of major economic reforms in the early 1990s.

Four Middle East experts analyze the region’s reactions and next steps.

As the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues, Carnegie scholars contribute cutting-edge analysis on the events of the war and their wide-reaching implications. From the impact on Iran and its immediate neighbors to the responses from Gulf states to fuel and fertilizer shortages caused by the effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, the war is reshaping Middle East alliances and creating shockwaves around the world. Carnegie experts analyze it all.
Donald Trump has repeatedly bashed NATO and European allies, threatening to annex Canada and Greenland and deploring their lack of enthusiasm for his war of choice in Iran. Is this latest round of abuse the final straw?
