The Carnegie Endowment aims to conduct in-depth analyses of global policy issues to better inform the decision-making abilities of current United States government leaders as they seek to create and sustain a lasting and prosperous peace. The program offers a series of online discussions and programming that allow leaders and the public to stay informed and engaged over the course of the coronavirus pandemic.

Recently scheduled remote lectures, which have drawn richly experienced scholars and writers as subject matter experts, have focused on US human rights policy, proposals for reducing the global nuclear arms race, the expansion of Asian nations across the Pacific and as rivals to the US, and the policy lessons provided by a study of the history of apartheid in South Africa.

The latter program, broadcast in December 2020, brought together notable experts who drew on their decades of collective experience in South Africa. It is archived, along with dozens of other online Carnegie programs, on the Carnegie Endowment’s website.
