The Carnegie Endowment hosted a discussion with Edward Gresser on his new book, Freedom from Want: American Liberalism and the Global Economy, on February 15, 2008. In this book, Gresser argues that American trade policies of the last sixty years have achieved many of the goals envisioned by their liberal founders. But he also points out that those trade policies bear embarrasing gaps.
The clamor over illegal immigration can be expected to grow over this year and to play a large role in this fall's election debate, as it already has in the congressional by-elections that have taken place since November 2006. Which party will benefit is unclear. What is certain is that the United States, which has grown and prospered as a nation of immigrants, will suffer from this acrimony.
On February 13, the Carnegie South Asia Program explored the Pakistani military’s possible reactions to various post-election scenarios.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s ambitious reorganization of the U.S. foreign assistance efforts last year is deeply, perhaps irredeemably flawed, but did produce some positive results, says a new paper from the Carnegie Endowment.
Bernard Gwertzman from the Council on Foreign Relations interviews Carnegie Endowment's senior associate, Ashley J. Tellis.
In early 2003, Carnegie President Jessica Tuchman Mathews and her colleagues at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace were among the few foreign policy experts in Washington trying to stem the rising tide in favor of invading Iraq. The Washington Examiner profiled Mathews about Iraq, U.S. foreign policy, and her work at the Endowment over the past ten years. Since her arrival, the Endowment has transformed itself from a think tank on international issues to the first truly multinational — ultimately global — think tank.
Last summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian strategic flights would permanently resume with the mission of protecting Russia. Protect it from whom? Although Putin has never identified the enemy that sparked the resumption of these flights after a fifteen-year hiatus, implicitly the antagonist is the only other country with a similar air capability—the United States.
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Stephen J. Hadley discussed the Bush administration's efforts to promote economic growth and disease prevention in Africa and commented on the president's upcoming travels to Africa and his Smart Development Policy.
It would have been fine, of course, for a political scientist or a journalist to make the observation that Hillary Clinton stood little chance in the South Carolina Democratic primary running against a black candidate. And it would have raised no eyebrows if he or she drew comparisons between Barack Obama's win and Jesse Jackson's 1988 victory. But Bill Clinton is a master politician who calibrates the exact effect of his words upon an audience. And as Clinton well knew, linking an opponent to Jackson, as former North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms used to do rdifficultegularly in his campaigns, is a surefire way to stir some white voters up against him.
The biggest economic threat from China isn't its dominance of manufacturing or its artificially pegged currency. It's that the world's soon-to-be third-largest economy is being fueled by financial markets that remain essentially--and dangerously--lawless.
