| Info | Carlos Pascual is vice president and director of the Foreign Policy Studies Program at the Brookings Institution. Mr. Pascual joined Brookings after a 23 year career in the United States Department of State, National Security Council (NSC), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Before joining Brookings, Mr. Pascual served as coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization at the United States Department of State where he led and coordinated U.S. government planning to help stabilize and reconstruct societies in transition from conflict or civil strife. The primary focus of his work was Sudan, Haiti, and several conflict prevention activities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Prior to serving as coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization, Mr. Pascual was coordinator for U.S. Assistance to Europe and Eurasia (2003) where he guided the development of regional and country assistance strategies to promote market-oriented and democratic states and to ensure that U.S. assistance reinforces American interests. He managed the allocation and implementation of approximately $1.1 billion in annual assistance.
From October 2000-August 2003, Mr. Pascual served as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. He oversaw U.S. policy focused on promoting Ukrainian reforms critical to its integration with the Euro-Atlantic community. Key priorities included strengthening grassroots democratic initiatives, promoting counter-terrorism and non-proliferation, and building a strong private sector.
Mr. Pascual served as special assistant to the President and NSC senior director for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia from July 1998 to January 2000. He advised the President on U.S. policy to advance security interests with Russia and reduce proliferation risks. Mr. Pascual guided U.S. policy to encourage Ukraine’s commitment to democratic and market reforms and to address stability, security, and democracy concerns in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
From June 1995 to July 1998, Mr. Pascual was director for Russian, Ukrainian and Eurasian Affairs at the NSC, responsible for economic policy and for Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus.
Prior to his work at the NSC, Mr. Pascual held several positions at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). From February 1994 to June 1995 he was deputy assistant administrator for Europe and the New Independent States. He oversaw budget and policy development for USAID’s annual programs of $1.2 billion in the region. In June 1992, Mr. Pascual became director of the Office of Program Analysis and Coordination for the New Independent States Task Force. He joined USAID in 1983 and served in Sudan, South Africa, Mozambique, and in Washington’s Africa Bureau.
Mr. Pascual received his M.P.P. from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1982 and his B.A. from Stanford University in 1980.
