The Carnegie Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program rigorously analyzes the global state of democracy, conflict, and governance, the interrelationship among them, and international efforts to strengthen democracy and governance, reduce violence, and stabilize conflict.
Democracy is in crisis globally. Carnegie is committed to understanding and addressing urgent challenges such as violence, corruption, illiberal populism, and democratic erosion. Join us in this shared commitment and connect with us today.
