Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
The Carnegie Asia Program in Washington and Beijing studies disruptive security, governance, and technological risks that threaten peace and growth in the Asia Pacific region.
In Asia, rapid growth and strong economic fundamentals have lifted hundreds of millions from poverty. But significant cracks have emerged in this hopeful story. Our program recommends policies to manage the growing threats to Asia’s long peace, especially from competition among major powers. We also help decisionmakers address social, institutional, and political obstacles to achieving Asia’s development potential.
