Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs

Founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1914, the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is an independent, nonprofit, educational 501(c)3 institution serving international affairs professionals, teachers and students, and the attentive public. Since its inception, the Council has focused on the enduring importance of ethical values in international relations. Then, as now, the Council aspires to be a worldwide "voice for ethics." It provides a nonpartisan, open forum for discussions that go beyond the political efficacy and economic efficiency of policies to questions of values, principles, and moral argument--discussions which might not otherwise take place.

    Grand Strategies: Literature, Statecraft, and World Order

    Wed, Sep 29, 2010
    Professor Charles Hill argues that classical literature teaches us there are seldom clear answers to real-life dilemmas, whether in statecraft or in business. Reading classical literature, therefore, gives us the breadth of knowledge to realize that a multitude of factors need to be taken into account.
