Cooperation as a Source of Power

CARNEGIE COUNCIL FOR ETHICS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
About this episode

Can cooperation remain a source of influence in an era of growing competition? Velislava Petrova-Chamova, Bulgaria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, joined "Values & Interests" during the week of the UN General Assembly to explore the nature of power in international affairs and the importance of pragmatism when working through geopolitical issues.

Petrova-Chamova details how her time as a scientist during the COVID-19 pandemic affects how she approaches her work today. From delivering tangible results for citizens to balancing principles with political realities, the conversation examines how ethical considerations inform foreign policy decisions.
