The Carnegie Moscow Center was established in 1993 by the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The Center accommodates foreign and Russian researchers collaborating with Washington staff on a variety of topical areas and policy-relevant projects and conducts programs of research, discussion and publication. Carnegie Associates work independently on their own research in areas covering a broad range of contemporary policy issues – military, political, and economic.
Moscow Carnegie Center’s main purposes are to
- encourage intellectual collaboration among scientists and political experts in Russia and other former Soviet republics
- carry out independent expertise on broad spectrum of socially significant problems
- serve as a free forum for debates on most crucial problems of development of Russian, European and international security
Moscow Carnegie Center organises numerous seminars, conferences and lections, providing debating facilities for statesman, public persons and scientists. The Center publishes collections of articles, monographs, references and periodic issues. The Center also releases a quarterly magazine ‘Pro et Contra’. The matters are published either in Russian or English or in both languages simultaneously and are available on the site.
