The OSCE as Sisyphus: Mediation, Peace Operations, Human Rights

Over the past decade, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has been returning to its origins as a Cold War–era conference—a forum where states and blocs can air their frictions and hostilities. If the OSCE’s participating States want it to remain an organization, not a conference, they must take action to secure its executive autonomy.

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.
