Q7 At last - Ethics in International Relations !!!!!!!!!!


Hurrah - Our DIRECT HIT : GS 15 NOV 2015

What is more important in International Relations – national interest or morality? Discuss

& GS IV FULL 06 DEC

Are there any ethical issues involved in foreign policy decision making? Cite illustrations involving Indian foreign policy.

Case Studies :

Must admit that the case studies demanded analytical reasoning and were lengthy !

We could not hit any case study as such but we stressed on detailed cases along similar lines !
