 With almost 2 billion people living on less than $2 a day and an uncertain global security environment, leaders face ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. As globalization continues, the impact of any single actor is amplified. This interdependence heightens the need to determine the responsibilities of governments, international organizations, non-governmental actors, and individuals in navigating the real ethical policy choices they face.
 The Carnegie Council New Leaders Program provides the next generation of leaders with a deeper appreciation of the ethical aspects of international affairs. In a series of small group meetings, the program participants explore how an ethical perspective can be applied to specific policy decisions.
In addition to its focus on ethical analysis, the Program offers young professionals several benefits:
- An opportunity to network with peers and experts
- The ability to help shape future Carnegie Council programming
- The chance to become an honorary Carnegie Council trustee
- Group field trips
 The format is a bi-monthly roundtable for the selected group of 25-30 members. A well known expert will give a short presentation and guide and facilitate discussion.
The New Leaders Program for 2008-2009 is organized around Council themes: Global Social Justice; Ethics, War, and Peace; and Religion in Politics.
Individual sessions will investigate questions such as:
- What is the role of the developed world in alleviating poverty globally?
- Is democracy promotion a sound reason to go to war?
- What are the ethical dilemmas facing aid organizations in the Darfur crisis?
- To whom are businesses accountable?
How to JoinThis Program offers a wonderful opportunity to study and to learn together with other young professionals from a variety of sectors, including academe, business, media, law, government, and the NGO sector. It also provides a unique point of entry into the evolving work of the Carnegie Council.
The Council seeks a diverse set of candidates who are working in a range of fields, and who are actively engaged in the dialogue on international affairs, whether at the domestic or international level. Candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Resident in New York City or surrounding area
