A Call for Organizational/Network-wide Position Papers on Foreign Policy Issues
The Development Roundtable Series on Foreign Policy is inviting civil
society organizations/coalitions/networks to contribute to imagining
and articulating an alternative foreign policy – democratic,
independent, principled, and strategic. We will support efforts by
organizations to come up with their own internal processes for thinking
through, discussing, and coming together on common
organizational/network-wide positions on Philippine foreign policy
issues.
Interested organizations who can demonstrate intent and capacity to
conduct said processes will be provided modest resources. Organizations
are expected to come up with position papers which will be part of an
exercise to map out the commonalities and differences in position of
members of civil society and social movements on specific foreign
policy questions. The mapping will in turn serve as input to the DRTS’
ongoing research on Philippine foreign policy and subsequent roundtable
discussions on the issue. The aim is to flesh out, come to agreements
where possible, and recognize differences, in order to advocate
effectively for a common and specific alternative foreign policy agenda.
