purpose. It should be removed.The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) is a nonpartisan international affairs think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C., with operations in Europe, South Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East, as well as the United States. Founded in 1910 by Andrew Carnegie, the organization describes itself as being dedicated to advancing cooperation between countries, reducing global conflict, and promoting active international engagement between the United States and countries around the world. It engages leaders from multiple sectors and across the political spectrum, and has built a network of 170 scholars in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, India, and the United States.
In the University of Pennsylvania's "2019 Global Go To Think Tanks Report", Carnegie was ranked the number 1 top think tank in the world. In the 2015 Global Go To Think Tanks Report, Carnegie was ranked the third most influential think tank in the world, after the Brookings Institution and Chatham House. It was ranked as the top Independent Think Tank in 2018.
Its headquarters building, prominently located on the Embassy Row section of Massachusetts Avenue, was completed in 1989 on a design by architecture firm Smith, Hinchman & Grylls.
The chairperson of Carnegie's board of trustees is Jane D. Hartley, who was ambassador to the UK from 2022 to 2025.

Haines's predecessor in the role is former California Supreme Court justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar.
Currently, the interim president is Dan Baer who was ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
