I'm delighted to welcome you to this round table on Transnational Networks and the Future of Global Order.

This event marks the culmination of a multi-year research project supported by Andrew Carnegie Foundation, and I'm very grateful to the Carnegie Council for Ethics and International Affairs for co-organizing and hosting this event where we will discuss our findings and the implications for the future of international cooperation, especially at this time when so much depends on it.

we are all aware that we have entered into an unusually difficult period for international relations.

Some longstanding partnerships are straining, while others are growing stronger.

The source money behind the immigration program is $300,000 from the Open Society Foundation for Immigration Work, and it covers September of 2024 through next February.

Uh, and, uh, the George Soros, uh, funded Open Society, uh, again, they also get 400,000 from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, $100,000 from Migration Policy Institute, uh, for, um, immigration work.

Uh, so, um, again, this is basically, they identify...

And I think they identify it because it's the counties and/or jurisdictions with the least amount of resistance, and that's how they, uh...

That's according to a new CivicPulse survey of local officials.

This recent NBC segment cites a new survey from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, which found that immigration is the most polarizing issue nationally.

It's a very attractive frame because it's like the weather.

It blames nobody.

Also, be sure to check out our sister podcast, The Eurofile, where we talk Europe through a Washington lens.

This show is made possible by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Also, don't forget to subscribe to the CSIS channel on YouTube for live and recorded video events featuring leading experts.

Finally, you can read all the latest analysis by the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies' website, csis.org. [Instrumental music]

So I do work with people in about six countries.

And the reason I'm interested in reading and writing, to make something that I've been really long at, at, at talking about a little bit short, is around two thousand six, the Carnegie Corporation asked Dolores Perin, who did work with adult literacy, about doing a, a report for them.

They had done Reading Next.

The Carnegie Corporation had done Reading Next a couple years earlier, which was an interview with five experts in reading about what reading instruction should look like.

I thought they wanted us to do a meta-analysis, and Dolores did not, and we submitted something based on what Dolores' interpretation, [laughs] and we got rejected.

And so we resubmitted with a met-- we, we, we went back and asked them and said, "Is it a meta-analysis you want?" And they said, "Yes." So we went back, and we did a meta-analysis looking at writing instruction from grades four to twelve.

up? There have been people who've, like George Soros, invested a lot in libraries.

The Andrew Carnegie Foundation in New York today is really focusing back on its libraries, which they see as their kind of core funding area.

So they're doing incredible work.

The Andrew Mellon Foundation in New York has also been traditionally been a big, strong supporter of libraries.
