We are delighted to host Carne Ross, founder of Independent Diplomat, on our latest webinar. Carne talks about the recent election in the West, popular movements effecting change in the world and the need for 'gentle anarchism'.
Carne Ross is a writer and thinker. He is a former British diplomat who resigned over the Iraq War. Since then, he founded and ran an innovative non-profit, Independent Diplomat, that advises democratic countries and political movements on their diplomatic strategy.
He has written two books: “Independent Diplomat” looks at the deficits of contemporary diplomacy; “The Leaderless Revolution” discusses ways in which ordinary people can successfully govern and organise themselves, without relying on top-down authority: a model of ‘gentle anarchism’ that’s very relevant for today’s circumstances. Carne has written dozens of articles for national and international publications and is a frequent media commentator, on international radio and TV, about world affairs.
