MISSION STATEMENT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Carnegie Council is the world's leading voice promoting ethical leadership on issues of war, peace and global social justice. <strong>The</strong><br />
Carnegie Council's mission is to be the voice for ethics in international policy. <strong>The</strong> Council convenes agenda-setting forums and<br />
creates educational opportunities and information resources for a worldwide audience of teachers and students, journalists,<br />
international affairs professionals, and concerned citizens.<br />
BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />
Founding year 1914.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Council works on nine different programs around three themes. One is directly concerned with religion and politics:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Resurgence of Religion in Politics (Public Affairs Program Series) Religious fervor is growing, reshaping the identities and actions<br />
of an increasingly large number of people around the world, from Africa to the Americas. What does this mix of faith-based and<br />
pluralistic politics mean for the future?<br />
Religious beliefs play a pivotal role in shaping international policies and events.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Council's mission is to stimulate debate on the place of religion in public life, through a close examination of the rights and<br />
wrongs of harnessing the moral authority of religion for political purposes.<br />
Our work examines cultural and religious values as sources of conflict or cooperation across societies and nations.<br />
At present the Council is exploring the following topics:<br />
• What are the prospects for pluralism, democracy, and religious freedom, given the rise of faith-based politics worldwide,<br />
and the growing threat of religious extremism?<br />
• How is political Islam shaping the future of the Middle East, Europe, and the West?<br />
• What is the impact of faith-based politics on U.S. foreign policy?<br />
• What are the effects of changing global demographics, such as increased Muslim immigration to Europe?<br />
Activities include an ongoing lecture series: This series offers insights on faith and international politics today from the world's<br />
leading experts, who explore the following questions:<br />
• What does this mix of faith-based and pluralistic politics mean for the future?<br />
• Is the current resurgence of religion in the modern world an attempt to harness traditional moral and ethical resources for
