A lot of research is done on the economic impact of trade, but much less on its political consequences.
In this Debate Café we will discuss the broader foreign policy implications of trade and go into questions like: Is it morally wrong to trade with nondemocratic countries? Are democracies any good at spreading democracy? Do economic sanctions work in relation to non-democratic, dictatorial regimes?
When: Tuesday 18 February, 20.00
Where: Dominicanen bookshop
Entrance: Free
