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.

  • The Plundered Planet: How to Manage Nature for Global Prosperity

    Thu, Apr 29, 2010
    In this Carnegie Council lecture, development economist Paul Collier calls *The Plundered Planet* his "most important book."

Collier also addresses the following questions: What are realistic and sustainable solutions to correcting the mismanagement of the natural world? Can an international standard be established to resolve the complex issues of unchecked profiteering on the one hand and environmental romanticism on the other?
