IPE
IPE is a joint event with Notre Dame and the University of San Diego. Our Students at Benedictine College were given the following prompt:
For decades, experts have argued that trade makes countries more commercially interdependent, creating strong incentives to avoid war. In light of current events this belief is worth revisiting. Do trade and commerce always create peace and sustainable development? On what conditions does it depend? What role specifically does business play in fostering peace/sustainable development?
