The Carnegie Corporation was established by Andrew Carnegie in 1911, with the objective of "promoting the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding." Its program on International Peace and Security was developed to consider the challenges surrounding the building of a global community in an age "when isolationism and nationalism seem to be fostering a fractured view of the world." The program seeks to "draw policy attention to critical issues through analysis and dissemination of findings to policymakers, scholars, the media, and the general public,"and includes consideration of new dimensions of security, which addresses the prevalent current phenomenon of conflict within, rather than between, states.
