Faith and Globalization

The Right Honorable Tony Blair, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, spoke to a Chicago Council audience of nearly 1,400 on April 22, calling for policies of both “hard power” - the use of military force - and diplomatic “soft power” in fighting repressive regimes and religious extremism.  Blair spoke to The Chicago Council on Global Affairs as part of its spring 2009 Chicago and the World Forum series “Fault Lines of Faith? Religion and Politics in World Affairs.”
