Universities and Democracy

In his address at Harvard University's 2026 commencement ceremony, Andrew O’Donohue from Carnegie's Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program outlined the links between universities and democracy (and made the case for defending both). The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace generates strategic ideas and independent analysis, supports diplomacy, and trains the next generation of international scholar-practitioners to help countries and institutions take on the most difficult global problems and advance peace.
