EICC Live: Modern Diplomacy. In conversation with Baroness Catherine Ashton
So much of modern-day diplomacy still takes place behind closed doors, away from cameras and prying eyes. So what does this vital role really look like in today’s world –and what does it take to do it well?
The David Hume Institute, in partnership with EICC Live are delighted to host Baroness Catherine Ashton for a fireside conversation providing insights into her long career working at the top of international diplomacy.
Baroness Ashton will take us behind the scenes to share what worked and what didn’t, and how it felt to be in ‘the room where it happened’. From Serbia to Somalia, Libya to Haiti, she offers essential insight into how modern diplomacy works, examining the tools needed to find our way through the many challenges we face today.
