CNAS - Center for New American Security
https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/2021-02-CNAS-Heinz-and-Jung.pdf
From page 21:
Victoria Nuland, former CEO of CNAS, is Biden’s selection for undersecretary of state for
political affairs, the department’s third-most powerful position.84 Nuland is somewhat
controversial among European diplomats for her hawkish approach toward US-Russian
relations, with one saying: “She doesn’t engage like most diplomats. She comes off as rather
ideological.”85 A leaked call in which Nuland expressed frustration with the European approach
towards the Ukraine crisis and commented “**** the EU” circulated widely.86 In an article last
year (after her depature from CNAS), she called for increased defense spending and weapons
development, as well as to “establish permanent bases along NATO’s eastern border.”87 The
governments of two nations on NATO’s eastern border, Latvia and Lithuania, are recent
contributors to CNAS.88
From Page 24:
Over the last 14 years, CNAS has produced a large body of research and established
connections with a wide variety of scholars and DC power players. Despite these
accomplishments, a straightforward pattern of nondisclosed conflicts of interest has emerged,
stemming in large part from the influences of the Center’s corporate, military, and foreign
government donors. A donor portfolio composed of powerful parties with their own policy
interests, a “Corporate Partnership Program” with member benefits, and a donor-stacked
board of advisors compound one another to create serious ethical questions. Taken together
with their tendency to serve as a recruitment center for presidential administrations, the
Center’s issues are difficult to avoid.
From Page 6:
Top contributors to the Center for a New American Security include General Atomics Chairman
and CEO Neal Blue, the US Department of State, and two seperate Pentagon offices.14 In the
last decade, CNAS has received funding from all of the “big five” defense contractors —
Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon — along with
at least 24 other defense companies. A recent Center for International Policy (CIP) review of
defense industry and US government support for 50 major American think tanks found that,
from 2014 to 2019, “CNAS ... received more funding from defense contractors than any other
think tank analyzed here.”15
