Carnegie Council Case Studies are distributed by Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy as part of the Pew Case Studies in International Affairs.

This case study series is commissioned and edited by the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs. The purpose of each case study is to address competing moral claims in the conduct of international affairs in a format useful to college and university teachers.

Carnegie case studies, in particular, encourage students to think and argue analytically about ethical dilemmas. They promote interdisciplinary thinking about decision-making and international politics. This emphasis on decision-making makes the most of the human element in politics--the real-life choices and conflicting values of the actors involved in the case.

Each case presents relevant facts and circumstances pertaining to a specific subject area and relates them to an overarching ethical principle. Case studies set the parameters for classroom debate. Avoiding academic jargon whenever possible, they are accessible to an undergraduate audience but useful to all students of international affairs. At the back of each case a number of suggestions for organizing classroom discussion are offered, as well as a list of related readings on the case topic.

This case study series is part of the Carnegie Council's ongoing Education and Studies programs. Foremost an educational institution, the Carnegie Council is committed to the development of new scholarship and pedagogical tools in the field of ethics and international affairs.
