The Effectiveness of Dutch Foreign Policy: Defense and Development
On 22 April, The Hague Institute resumed its successful “Inside View” series with a panel discussion on The Effectiveness of Dutch Foreign Policy: Defense and Development.
While the first three sessions, held at the Institute in 2013, focused broadly on foreign policy, the 22 April event examined the relationship between defense and development cooperation.
The session featured former ministers Jan Pronk (Development Cooperation) and Joris Voorhoeve (Defense), as well as Senator Frank van Kappen (former military adviser to the UN Secretary-General).
The event aimed to develop practical policy solutions, which will feed into The Hague Institute’s wider work on improving the effectiveness of Dutch foreign policy.
