» View Program Resources

New Leaders ProgramWith 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.

New Leaders Program at the Carnegie CouncilThe Carnegie 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:

  • Access to certain additional Carnegie Council programs
  • 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

New Leaders Program at the Carnegie Council

The CNL Program is organized around the Council's themes: Global Social Justice; Ethics, War, and Peace; and Religion in Politics.

Events range from formal panels to intimate round-table discussions with leaders in global and international affairs. Current CNLs have the chance to suggest speaker and topic ideas and to share their expertise and experiences with the group.

Individual sessions 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?
  • To whom are businesses accountable?

 

How to Join

The Council seeks a diverse set of candidates, age 40 and under, who are working in a range of fields and who are actively engaged in the dialogue on international affairs.

Candidates must meet the following criteria:

  • Age 40 and under
  • Demonstrated interest in international affairs
  • Demonstrated excellence in his/her respective field

To apply to the Carnegie New Leaders Program please send a letter a describing why you wish to be a part of the program, your interest in ethics, and what you could contribute to the program, along with a resume to Devin Stewart: dstewart@cceia.org.
