Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1910. As Dr Parmar notes:
- "The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) is one of the oldest foreign policy discussion and coordinating organizations in the United States. Formed in 1910, it has throughout its history been closely connected with the State Department, successive presidents, numerous private foreign affairs groups and the leaders of the main political parties. Although the Council on Foreign Relations is more generally acknowledged to have been at the heart of ‘the American [foreign policy] establishment’, Carnegie was also a highly significant organization in the critical period between 1939 and 1945.1 Indeed, it has enjoyed a thoroughly respectable status within the American élite for 90 years. Yet it remains an organization that has received little scholarly attention." (Parmar, 2000, p.35)

Background
The CEIP is "dedicated to advancing cooperation between nations and promoting active international engagement by the United States ... Through research, publishing, convening, and on occasion, creating new institutions and international networks, Endowment associates shape fresh policy approaches. Their interests span geographic regions and the relations among governments, business, international organizations and civil society, focusing on the economic, political, and technological forces driving global change."[1]
"Through its Carnegie Moscow Center, the Endowment helps develop a tradition of public policy analysis in the states of the former Soviet Union and improve relations between Russia and the United States."[2]
"The Endowment publishes Foreign Policy, one of the world's leading magazines of international politics and economics which reaches readers in more than 120 countries and several languages."[3]
