WYNDHAM PLACE CHARLEMAGNE TRUST
Foreign Policy and its Moral Dilemmas
A discussion series on some of the issues facing today’s foreign policy makers
The first meeting in the series, held on 4th May, focussed on the question of Terrorism and Religious Extremism and the second meeting on 23rd May on Corruption and Tyranny. The third and final meeting in this series will take place on 21st June and look at World Poverty in the context of Foreign Policy.
Is giving aid a moral obligation or enlightened self-interest? Is it legitimate to make aid conditional on good behaviour? Are poor countries getting a fair deal in the WTO and in other international agencies (eg in the climate change negotiations)?
